My Ins. wont pay cause my BMI is not high enough and I have no health related issues. My BMI is 37 and I feel terrible about myself. Hope somone can help.:biggrin:

I've struggled all my life with being over weight and I'm at my wits end trying to lose weight and keep it off. So I want to look into getting the Lap-Band. I'm 5"9 and 225lbs. But I read on some sites thats not heavy enough. Can someone give me a little more insight on how they determine if you are a canidate. -

I know the feeling , I get frustrated cause I know this is the only way I can accomplish my goal. But they make it so difficult to get it done . I'm like 80lbs isn't heavy enough to get the surgery. Thats the weight of my 8 year old. A whole child!
