Luna805 69 Posted February 18, 2020 Hi! I just had a successful meeting with my Doctor and was given a referral to the Bariatric program in my area. Even though I have a PPO insurance, I still needed this step. I am going to do 6 months of nutrition appointments required by my insurance and I call tomorrow to set it up. I also started blood pressure medication today. My BMI is right at 40 so I am nervous about being disqualified but hoping the BP meds help my case. Wishing everyone a successful day on their journey and wanted to share. Got the ball rolling and feeling good! 1 TheAngryMeow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcfluffington 179 Posted February 18, 2020 Having comorbidities such as high blood pressure would incline them to okay your surgery in the hopes that the weightloss will help. So I don't think you have anything to worry about. 1 Luna805 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
