wheeling 18 Posted March 22, 2013 Hello. Being that my BMi is 39 and might or not be getting insurance approval, hopefully my doc will push it for me. My issue is as I'm in my six month phase and hopefully will get sleeved in June, should I be losing weight? I asked my surgeon and he said he wants me to start the good eating habits now , but his nurse told me since I a little under the 40 BMi that for insurance reasons I should drop the weight until I get approved. Very confused....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted March 22, 2013 Do you have a history of being this size, or bigger? Something you can document through the time period your insurance requests/if they request that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
