BCBSM

Well since I'm only 18 and under my mom"s insurance from ford I was just wondering if it would be hard to get approved even though my BMI is 47?

Honestly, it depends on yuor insurnace... but more than likely it wont cover MGB. You may want ot look into DS or RNY surgery since you have a higher  BMI. You should make an appt with an obesity surgeon first and see what they recommend. Best of luck! Remember, do a TON of research before hand :-)

Dr. Rutledge has a letter you can send to the insurance company.  Contact his office about that.  Also, you would have to do the packet before you are considered for the MDG.  It is a lengthy process so you need to get started.  You may qualify for same day surgery which is a lot cheaper.  Talk to them about that also.

Thats actually a great point, glad u brought that up. MGBis really great, and thats what Im having done. I would look into it. Contact the dr's office.... their website has a TON of great info on it, youtube links, just everything.... www.clos.net
