I don't know if I qualify for surgery.
Nov 08, 2011
I'm afraid my BMI won't be high enough and I won't have co-morbidities that will count. I've been hoovering around a BMI between 38 and 41 for the past 5 years (now it's 40.7). Now, when I've made this decision...this really difficult decision, I might not qualify! This is ridiculous...I'm really fat but I'm not fat enough. What's really got me down is a letter I received today from Virginia Mason. They've asked me to provide proof that I've been in a medically supervised WL program for at least a year...WHY! My insurance company only requires 3 months! I could just cry! They also want proof that my WL attempts in the past year have been ineffective. Gee. Look in my closet and see the clothing all the way back to the 90's that I've been hoping to fit into some day!!Okay. I'm done with the pitty party. Does anyone have advice?
