nursroc 0 Posted March 22, 2012 The Sagamore criteria for lap band is: diagnosis of morbid obesity, 40% BMI , or twice your IBW. I am 35% BMI and have 3 comorbidities. Dr has not submitted the predetermination yet. Is it likely to get approved? Opinions, suggestions, or advice needed. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
