ShariM735 189 Posted April 20, 2013 I am hopefully being sleeved in July. I know I have to have a BMI of at least 40. My problem is that following my dietitians instructions, I've lost 20 lbs. and my BMI has gone from 46.9 to 42. I only had to lose 6 lbs. to meet ins. requirements. My dilemma is, will I be denied if I lose more in the next month (my final PCP supervised visit) and my BMI drops below 40? Believe me, I've never had the problem of what if I lose too much before in my life. I have Humana ins. Any thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishingNurse 1,211 Posted April 22, 2013 Yep I agree. You'll be ok if you go below 40, it's off the initial weight. Good job, that's a great start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
