BMI

[crystalrae 16]

I had a BMI of 36 with comorbitities but since I've seen the nutritionist I'm starting to lose. If I become below 35 will I get rejected for surgery, or is it what you start the process as? I lose every year and gain it back

Not sure where your from but here in Australia I'm pretty sure it's what bmi you started with. I was 31.3 and surgery BMI of around 31.

I started with close to 37 bmi, my insurance stated i had to lose and not gain at all between my weigh ins. i made sure i didn't. my surgeon told me it is the initial weight that counts. i am only my surgery is next week and so far my bmi is 34.5 or close to that. GOOD LUCK
