Approved, but concerned BMI may drop below 40

[vsg4missy 19]

I was approved on 2/9. My current BMI is 40.7. I'm concerned that with the liquid diet my BMI will drop below 40 and the insurance company not want to pay after surgery. I have a pre-op appt on Thursday and will ask then. Anyone have experience with this?

Hi, I too was concerned about my BMI. The pre-op diet worked well, maybe too well! It turned out that my insurer only wanted to know the BMI

From the first analysis, they looked at the pre-op diet loss as part of the process. My advocate was a big help easing my BMI fears.
