anyone got approved by insurance who is on the low end of BMI criteria?
Left my doctor's office today feeling very discouraged. He said he will do the lapband, but it will have to be self paying. He said my insurance will not approve it. Has anyone heard of getting approval when thier BMI is not 35? Mine is 33.5. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gerd, bulging disc in my back, and COPD. Seems to me I have the co morbidies. I live in San Diego and have Pacificare insurance. Any feedback would be greatly appreciatied.
