HelloYour BMI is about 35If you have sleep apnea , diabetes or High blood pressure then you fall with in NIH guidelines for weight loss surgery.Most people with BMI above 30 have sleep apnea. You can have sleep study done and if you have sleep apnea then you can have weightloss surgery and if you have ppo insurance with the coverage for bariatric surgery then your insurance company will cover the cost as long as you are with in NIH guidelines.ThanksDr.Salimitari
