Hi guys I have been obese most of my life (31 now) I have been looking into getting the vsg surgery but I am wondering if I will get approved. I'm 5'5 and about 315 so my BMI is in the 50's now usually to qualify you need to have him over 30, hypertension, or diabetes, or heart disease or problems. Here's the thing I'm over weigh but have no medical problems. There's history of hypertension and diabetes in my family but I have never had any of those problems except for bad back knees and plantar probs. even though I have no major health problems except for being big will I be allowed to get the vsg surgery ?

Yes I believe u will be for sure. I myself had the plication 7 weeks ago and my starting BMI was just over 30. And i have no other health issues other then being over weight.
