Hello, I am close to your height and weight. At 5'2 and 217 I had no problems getting approved. My BMI was 39.7 and the Dr said he would round up. I have BC/BS Federal, with one co morbidity, sleep apnea. From the time I contacted the surgeon and had completed the entire process including surgery it took about 4 months. Hope this helps.
