My BMI is 36.5 and I am built like a barrel. I have been submitting my paperwork to the NewStart program in St. Louis. I will have to pay for it out of pocket so I don't have to approved by insurance but I am afraid that the doctors won't approve me. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi Sharlene, Welcome to the board. I know it is usually around 30 to 35 depending on the Dr. You should be fine. Let us know how your journey goes. Julia
Sharlene,
I think it is usually 35 and some depends on your co-morbidities. You shouldn't have any problems.
Keep posting to let us know your progress and what you've learned about the BMI question.
Hugs,
Lana
