Hi All,
New to this...I have questions. According to my insurance. I currently qualify for WLS. I've spoke with them and know that it would be a go because my BMI is over 35 with a comorbidity. However it is my understanding that when you go in for your initial appointments, you are placed on a diet, then 2 week prior to surgery you are on a liquid diet. Obviously, I would lose weight and possibly fall below the 35 BMI. So even though I qualified for the surgery at the beginning of my journey it's possible on the day of the surgery my BMI could be below 35. Would they say "Sorry today you no longer qualify. Go home". ?? TIA
