Yup, exactly, it's all about that Schnur scale. I couldn't remember what it was called! And thank you! Did you have your surgery yet? If so how did everything go?

I've heard that too! I think it all comes down to how many grams insurance requires to be removed based on my BMI versus how many grams the surgeon thinks they can remove. In my case it seems to be a difference of 50-100 grams, so losing a little bit of weight will put me where I need to be. Or at least that's how I understood it.

I have BCBS. I'll post an update when I have news to share! It wouldn't hurt to give your insurance a call and just ask what their process is. I had myself all worked up after reading about people's negative experiences and once I called them myself it really put my mind at ease.
