jacobandhaleysmommy 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Hello all! My name is Erin and I am a 25 year old female/mother/wife. I am a stay at home mom to 2 children a 2 year old daughter and almost 4 year old son. My current BMI is 37.7 and as far I know I don't have any co-morbidities. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow for some digestion issues but I'm not sure if any outcome could be beneficial for approval for lap band. I've gain approx 100 lbs in the last 5 years and am tired of being overweight and misserable. I am ready to take serious measures to lose this weight and am anxious to get started!

teach4560 0 Posted April 17, 2009 If you do not have any other problems your bmi needs to be at least 40bmi. I just went through this and my insurance company denied me at first because my bmi was 39.2 less then .8 what it should be.They told me even if I was overweight and have been all my life to gain at least 5lbs. I appealed and gained about 10. Had surgery in Feb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
