Qualifying comorbidities....seriously?!?

[MrsB2007 90]

Yeah miss mac.. That is similar to the list my dr uses.. I hope my ins will consider because i have zero typical comorbs such as sleep apnea, high bp, etc.

What's your BMI? I was the proverbial "healthy fat" No comorbs like hypertension, diabetes, etc... I exercised regularly. Everyone n the family lived to their 80 & 90's. My gramps was 102 when he passed. I did have a really high BMI which probably put me well in the at risk range.

[MrsB2007 90]

My BMI is about 37. My family has tons of health issues listed above. Im trying to avoid that at all costs. I know with family history and the way things look now ill be there soon if something doesnt give

My insurance didn't cover WLS under any circumstances, but even if it did, I wouldnt have qualified. I was a relatively healthy fat person, too. BMI of 39.5 with none of the comorbidities listed. Grandmother and grandfather that lived to 101 and 95. Other grandparents that died of pancreatic cancer and an accident. Both parents overweight/obese but alive and kickin. My chronic back, knee and ankle pain, fatigue and unhealthy eating habits certainly didn't count. Thank goodness for skilled Mexican surgeons....they cured all of my non-comorbidities!

I've never seen that list before, even though I was banded in 2007 (and again in 2011)! My personal comorbidity list just got longer, lol. I have family histories of heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes, and I personally have degenerative disk disease with a herniated disk (get to have a steroid injection in my spine tomorrow, yay!), PCOS, high cholesterol, and possibly diabetes (was prediabetic when I was last tested and haven't tested in a long time).
