I have a BMI of 40.5 with no comorbs, Will I still qualify?

I am 5'6" and 251.6 lbs. My BMI is 40.5. Do I qualify under the guidelines set by the bariatric associations? I do not have definite comorbs only aches and complaints. Have done Physical Therapy for many of these. I have seen the surgeon and my paperwork is being submitted. I just recieved a copy of it and I was not too impressed. I guess I am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.My inusrance is tricare. Any knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the library. I am getting mighty discouraged as I am still scared of a denial- will be horrible. I know I will have a hard time overcoming that. Sorry this is so long. Thanks in advance.
