Hopefully soon we shall hear from the insurance.

This past month I have been doing all the pre-op test required for my insurance to hopefully approve my surgery.  Well, I went to my PCP today and got all my tests and took them to my surgeons office.  The nurse looked at it and she will give it to the Doc and after he looks at it they will send to the insurance for review and hopefully God willing I will get approved.  I'm just worried about something.  I was on my insurance website and was reading the requirements for them to approve the surgery.  That I have to have at least 1  Co-Morbid.  Happy or Sad to say I do not have any.  When I did my barrium swallow they said I had a little acid reflux but not much.  Hopefully they will see my BMI of 59 and approve it anyways.  The nurse advised me that it should take between 2 or 3 weeks to hear back from the insurance.  Well, you all take care.  By the way I love to read all your posts they inspire me so much and hopefully if I get approved I can look as good as some of you guys.  Take care.

Thanks,
Albert

Since your BMI is over 40 you should not need any comorbids. My Ins says that if your BMI is over 40 no comorbids. If it is 35-39 BMI then you need at least 2. So you should be ok.  Skye
