I am 5'2 BMI 42 dr said must over 40 BMI. I still can get surgery. Right? 3 weeks ago I went to see dr PCP family practice said I can go for surgery.

What is your height with 229 lbs? I am 5'2 height my highest 230 lbs right now. Dr told me I can still go for surgery over 40 BMI. I am 42 BMI.
It depends on your height and your insurance (all insurance policies have minimum BMI requirements)... someone who is 230 pounds but 6 feet tall would not qualify but someone who is 230 pounds and only a little over 5 ft tall likely would qualify.
