If you are at your goal, you probably won't qualify for surgery. Insurance companies generally don't pay for surgery unless you have a BMI of 40+, or between 35 - 40 with comorbidities (sleep apnea, diabetes, etc.). Surgeons usually won't do a surgery unless the patient meets those same BMI criteria.
