58 BMI with no significant health issues......

Best of luck to you.  Without co-morbidities you must have a BMI over 40.  luckily (?) when I started out I was just below 40, but did have co-morbidities.  I would rather have been over 40 with no co-morbidities.  Be happy you have none.  I would certainly hope your insurance would approve you at your BMI of 58.
Keep moving forward and keep us informed.  We're a great cheering squad!

Thanks! I feel so much more better after reading all the responses. You guys really are a great cheering squad, altho i think i kinda posted in the wrong forum..i think i'll stick around...lol...is this a BMI over 50 or a Age over 50??   Doesn't matter..i like it here and ya'll are gonna have to take me! LOL

This is over 50 years old, but we'll make an exception and keep you!  It's good to have a youngun amongst us! 
I visit this forum, an over fifty (yrs) friends group, the Michigan forum and the Lightweights forum.  People have been nice to me wherever I've gone.
Most are very supportive.]
Welcome.

Hi Deja:

A BMI of 58 should be enough to qualify.  What's PCOS?

Good luck!

Thank you!!!!

Its Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome..its a hormonal disorder. Causes a variety of symptoms. They even have a forum for it here and just recently found out its a co-morbidite

You'll be fine.  I don't have any of those things either.  I have arthritis in my knees and acid reflux.  My BMI is 54 (but I think it's  now 53!) 

With a high BMI I don't have any doubt that you will be approved.  It's a slow process, though so be patient.  I've been working on this since last June, but my surgery is Tuesday. 

Good luck to you.

I'll keep you in my prayers. May God bless you and wrap his arms around you on Tuesday.

Thank you.Yes..i started in DEC and i have about 4 months to go. Its going fast tho.

Are you currently working on your 6 month Dr. supervised diet? 

yes ma'am. what if i dont lose any weight?

If you're following the diet, you can't Not lose weight.  They want to see that you're committed.  You're probably like a lot of us on here, we could lose the weight, but put it all back on, and then some.  You have to let your doctor know that you have been this route before, you can lose, but not keep it off.  Good luck!
