Talking BMI 35 with High Blood Presure
permalink
Hi Everyone!

I am excited about seeing Dr. Teel next week in hopes to get the LAP-BAND®. I am right at 35 BMI and take High Blood Presure meds also with High cholesterol and Rheumatoid arthritis. I have United Health Care insurance and they said it on case to case basis if they will pay for it. Just wondering if anyone has been right at 35 BMI with health issues that has got their insurance to pay for it?????

Thanks!
Marlanea

Depending on drs scale I am either a 35 or 36 BMI. All three docs, PCP,cardiologist, surgeon all think I should be approved. I only have high blood pressure. Good luck to us both.
