Usually if your BMI if 40 or greater you don't have to have any co-morbidities to qualify for surgery. :party:

I was almost 47 with no co-morbities and was approved in about 2 weeks. No questions asked, no additional requirements.

bmi of under 40 you usually need the co-morbidities. You should be fine if the surgery is covered by your insurance.

I am really hoping that I wont have a problem and I get approved with out much hassle. They cover weightloss surgery and the also, for cosmetic surgery if they covered a weight loss surgery..but I would have to wait 1 year to 1 1/2 year for it...which is just awesome....so I am looking for forward to an approval...soon after my sleep study next friday.
