So I sent in all the forms and reports etc to see if my health insurance would pay... I got a call from them today to say they would NOT pay because my BMI is currently under 40. I told them that at the start of the pre-op diet it was at 42, but they said it doesnt matter, at time of surgery it would be too low so they will not cover it! I jokingly said that I will put the weight back on before the op and she said "that's fine, you can reapply when you have done so".!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable!!

Anyway, it's okay, I expected them not to pay anyway so I'm still going ahead. I just thought their response was a little bit absurd!!
