As long as you are over a 40+ BMI, you qualify. The co-morbidities are for persons who are under 40 BMI.

Yep, I was a bmi of 40 and didn't have any.

Yes, you should qualify with a bmi of 40 or greater.

It is nerve-wracking, and we all get so emotionally invested. Hope you have a favorable outcome!

Yup! . My BMI was 40.6 when my surgeon submitted my papers to insurance and they approved me with no problem. I have no co-morbidities. Good luck 🍀
