Actually here is a thread for Lower BMI Members:

I was straight up at 200 on day of surgery (my highest) with a BMI of 37. A lot of insurance companies, mine included, do not pay for anything below 40...so self pay was my only option. You will be fine, there are many members on here that have lower than a 34BMI, which is obese - and for that surgeons will perform your surgery not just because your self pay. Good luck!!
