Have I been obese enough for long enough?

My BMI was not high enough 5 years ago. Do I have to wait until my BMI is at this level for 5 years in order to qualify?

i think they just want to see how long you have been overweight. i had to get my 5 year history to.

It depends on your insurance. Some just want you to have been "overweight" for 5 years. Some want you to have been "obese" for 5 years. Some want you to be "morbidly obese" for 5 years (which I think is ridiculous).

Of course, some only require 2 years or no years of history, but it sounds like yours isn't one of those.

I had to have a history of being obese for 5 years. I don't go to the doctor very often, maybe once a year... There was one year they didn't weigh me and the insurance almost rejected me because i was missing a year. But since my 6 months of surpvisec weight loss continued into this year, I was able to provide proof of 5 years.... I wonder how many more hoops I can jump through....

Good Luck!:thumbup:
