I don't remember what my BMI is but weight is 250lbs.

If your BMI is 40 I think you do qualify.

So Research and no your rights!

Hi' date=' I'm new to this thread and was told that it would be great to join a support group.

I just finished everything my insurance asked of me, just waiting in an approval. I'm just nervous that my insurance isn't going approve it.

I could really use some great advice on how to keep the stress away and how to adapt to the "liquid diet". Thanks and I can't wait to read what kind of advice y'all have for me.[/quote']

Thank you. I will. I am just sad that it took the drs wanting to give me an insulin pump to wake me up.

I'm glad i have this group to talk to when needed. I'm waiting for approval as well and I'm nervous. It's rough getting worked up to making such an important decision and have to wait on the ins co. I wish u luck. I believe things will work out for ypu

Hi i am to new to the thread and am awaiting the insurance approval. My doctor gave me a surgery date 3/14 though so now I'm wondering if the insurance had previously approved it. My BMI is 41 so based on that I should qualify however my surgeon is asking me to lose 20 to 30 pounds prior to surgery which will drop my BMI. It's been a long six-month process with my insurance with classes and phone calls and now every Monday we have therapy sessions so I'm just hoping to get the surgery done and move on with my life

Well my dr said that she is not giving her clearance because my sugar is way too high. So I'm focusing on lowering it ASAP. I hope the wait isn't long for you.

Low carb/low sugar. I'm not familiar with the needs of diabetics, but I know I had a friend of mine that was diagnosed with diabetes and he regulated it through his diet. No pills/no shots, just changing his eating habits. He cut out simple sugars and high carbs. Good luck!

I was, at first, worried about being approved as well, but I still walked through life believing that this was going to happen. And I found out I was approved Friday. Stay positive! It will happen.

[paleal1107 14]

That's great to hear. I was finally released by my doctor, now I'm waiting for the insurance to approve it.
