I'm afraid of that! I too have fallen under the BMI barely in FEB 2014. I haven't been submitted yet... What about if you go back further than 2 years were you above the 35 BMI then? Maybe that would work... It would hurt to ask

Yes 2013, 2015. The one time I did go in 2014 I was under... but the 2013 was only a month before.

@meltravlr

So let me get this straight... You submitted 2013, 2014, 2015 and ONE of your weigh in was under 35 BMI and they still denied you?

Yes, they still denied me. My doc is doing a peer to peer later this week and I am going to bring in proof of many years of 35 and above to see if that helps. Will let you know how it turns out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
