nakole73 34 Posted March 20, 2013 I have my first consult tomorrow. My insurance requires I have BMI above 30 and at least one co-morbidity. The BMI requirement I meet hands down, but I don't have high blood pressure,diabetes,high cholesterol or any of the other co-morbidities. My only hope is that my sleep apnea study shows that I have sleep apnea. So please keep your fingers crossed that I stop breathing a couple of times in my sleep during the study Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never wished anyone to stop breathing before, except maybe an ex-boyfriend. Here's hoping though! Good luck to you. I hope you're able to get it covered. I went through the same thing 5 years ago and insurance turned me down. Fast forward 5 years later I lost and regained 30 to 40 pounds plus got me some diabetes along the way. My insurance approved me insanely fast and I had the surgery a week ago today. I hope your outcome is much more expedient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
