Simple. Call your Insurance and ask. Find out what their rules are for qualification for this surgery. Don't listen to the Surgeons financial person...call yourself. They can tell you what co-morbidities are covered at what BMI's and so forth. ALWAYS find this information out for yourself direct from your insurance company. They can also tell you what 'hoops' you will need to jump through to get approval. So be sure to ask what needs to be done for approval!!
Good Luck. Don't get discouraged until you have something to really be discouraged about!! This is only the first step....
