Starting this journey

[Soontobeskinnyme 21]

So on Monday, I meet with a Doctor to see if I qualify for Bariatric surgery, I'm so nervous, my BMI is between 38 and 39, besides high triglycerides, Pre hyper tension and pre diabetes, the only "major" comorbidity I have is PCOS, I've read a few of you ladies have been approved with Pcos alone, I just hope it's that easy for me too!

I just started the process last month. I don't have any commorbidities, like diabetes or high blood pressure. I got approved..my BMI is at 47..I'm 5 feet tall and 245 lbs..I had no problem getting approved and am almost done all of my clearance appointments! Looking at surgery being done in March!

Good luck! Let us know how it goes. I have PCOS but they didn't even factor that in and I was still approved, so hopefully you can too. =D

What it is now the 48, I just got approved two weeks ago haha, and I don't have surgery until next month. I do have chronic back pain that has been ongoing for years, and that pain was noted as well as my asthma, in my letter to the insurance.
