6 Month Diet Plan

[Jigboy 0]

I have been doing the 6 month diet plan and have lost 14 pounds this first month. I guess that is good, but still worry how insurance will react at the end of the 6 months. My biggest worry is after the 6 months, getting turned down. I am at a 46 bmi but do not have a many medical issues yet. I have sleep apnea (like that was a surprise) but my cholesteral and blood pressure are pretty good. I do have aching joiunts in my ankles and knees but that is about it. I know this sounds dumb, but I worry that I am not ill enough yet. When I turned my medical records for the past two years over to my surgeon they asked if that was it because I had one visit to the doctor and that was to do blood work and to have something to turn in to the surgeon. Any thoughts would be great. I know all the bad medical conditions are coming but I am trying to head it off before I have all the problems. Everything I read talks about all these serious conditions but I don't have them yet. Should I be worried? I would certainly rather have the surgery before having a heart attack or having to stick myself everyday to test my blood sugar. Help!!!!

Well most of the insurance companies that cover the LB cover BMI over 40 or BMI under 40 with 2 comorbities.

Plus the benefit to the 6 month weight loss for me anyway is that my surgeon submits the request for pre op using the weight from my first meeting with him.
