so, are you obese is your BMI is 64.44 if your weigtht is 145 and height is 150 cms. (wich is this person :) )

Si usted hace que un BMI sobre 35 entonces usted califique para la cirugia porque le consideran morbidamente obeso.

Soy si media Latina

La mayoria de los seguros requieren que usted sea 35BMI excesivo. En un BMI bajo de 35 usted puede ser requerido tener co-morbosidades tales como diabetes, Tension arterial Alta, etc. Un BMI de 44 es generalmente una buena base para comenzar donde los seguros pagaran.

Si usted es paga del uno mismo entonces usted puede ser tan bajo como 35BMI, usted puede tener la cirugia y calificaria facilmente.

English Translation in case my Spanish is off:

Most insurances require that you be over 35BMI. At a low BMI of 35 you may be required to have co-morbidities such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc. A BMI of 44 is usually a good base to start where insurances will pay.

If you are self pay then you can be as low as 35BMI, you can have the surgery and would easily qualify.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
