LOWBMIVSGCanada 3 Posted January 28, 2018 your BMI is over 35! Do you have high blood pressure? Cholesterol? Diabetes? if you live in usa it will depend on your insurance provider but by any medical standards you have class 2 obesity and definitely qualify! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losebig 508 Posted January 28, 2018 Most programs and insurance require a BMI of 40 or over or 35 and a comorbidity like diabetes or another weight related condition. Your back issues might be considered a comorbidity. 1 lili@ne reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d love to hear some comments ...thank you When I went in for my first appointment they told me my insurance required that my BMI is 40. Mine was 39 but luckily they bumped mine up to 40 lol I guess it might depend on insurance. I would go in and speak to someone. You never know. Good luck 1 lili@ne reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kakatlady612 1,053 Posted January 29, 2018 Somebody else on Bariatric Pal put fishing sinkers or similar in his pockets and didn't tinkle before the weigh in so they'd be heavier.Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsJustMeToo 42 Posted January 29, 2018 I had similar stats. I didn't qualify through insurance (no comorbidity, though a family history of many), but had no issues qualifying for self pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
