ren0318 81 Posted March 31, 2012 Hey all, hope this post finds you doing well. My current BMI is a little less than 35. I know the FDA has approved lap band for 30+ but everything I read on here and on web searches only speaks to insurance approving at 35+ with conditions. I really hate to gain more weight to make this happen....Any insight? My doctor is backing me, but of course I'm sure he doesn't really know what the insurance company will do. I am going to call them on Monday and see if I can get an idea if they would go for it or not. I have to do something I can't take all this medicine anymore! Thanks! ren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
