I don't have any comorbidities. I do have chronic back and knee pain. My PCM said that it is because of my weight. He said he is going to try to push that to get the WLS approved.

Do you have high BP or diabetes? What about sleep apnea? Things like that are comorbidities. It will be hard to get approved with a BMI of 43 alone.

My BMI is 43 and I don't even know what co morbidities are. My ideal body weight is 150 and I weigh 279.
