Patient has 37.4 BMI and presents for bariatric surgery. Sleeve gastrectomy approved by Medicare replacement plan. Patient goes through the nutrition counseling, psych eval, etc. and proceeds to drop BMI to 33.5 just before surgery. BMI is now under the required 35. I can't find where it clearly states BMI at start or BMI at surgery must be 35 or greater. Does anyone have a definitive answer with a resource/link? Thanks for any assistance
