Height not right, now BMI too low

[beaker27 37]

I went for my consult today, and I am very excited about this journey. When I got home tonight, I see the clinic has my height an inch higher, which now puts me below 40 BMI. Grrrrrrrrr...... I'm hoping I can just call on Monday and have it fixed. Otherwise, insurance will only cover me if I'm 40 and up since I don't have any cormobidities. Anyone else have any troubles like this?

Just call them, it's not a big deal. They actually made mine shorter an inch to have a higher bmi.

yes, they will fix it, i can relate to nervousness as i was on the fence with my bmi as well, while on the liquid diet, i was nervous i would loose too much weight and insurance company would not pay for surgery..fortunately was not the case.

I have been under the impression that because when I stated seeing the dr my bmi was 45 I would qualify and the insurance actually likes to see weight loss and dropping below 40 before the surgery because complications are less likely the lower the bmi -

My starting weight was 265 and I'm currently 250-

However I have picked to delay my surgery until December so I can have help with my children as my husband is military and deployed currently- I will have all the requirements and supervision met for surgery after my last nutrition appointment the 21st of this month-
