Got my referral letter

Now I have to get up the courage to call and make an appointment. lol

I googled them and went to their website and it talks about the surgery being a necessity if you have one or more co-morbidity issues.. and I have none... I have nothing negative health wise related to being over weight? My joints don't ache.. no sleep apnea, no diabetes, no heart issues.. cholesterol is just about normal and so on and on.. so I may not be a candidate.

I talked to a lady who has tricare for their insurance she said they would deny me once the surgery was requested because of that fact so I don't know. I'm gonna try and make the appointment next week or after... nothing this week because I have to drive to OK City on Friday for my sons eye exam again... we make that drive every 6 weeks!

i don't have any co-morbs but i have a bmi greater than 40. My insurance paid b/c of my bmi being over 40. Most insuraces say you need to be a bmi of 35 with 2-3 co-morbs or just a bmi greater than 40 and it will be covered.
