So, I talked to BCBS PPO people and...

They said that I will be covered for surgery IF it is medically necessary. I have severe depression due to my weight, hurts to exercise, never can stop eating and I've tried every diet under the sun and nothing!

I don't know if I have to do a 6 month pre diet thing, but I hope not. But if I do, I won't mind because I'll do whatever it takes to get the band.

I'll be scheduling a consultation tomorrow, so wish me luck!

See ya soon!

Hey I have BCBS PPO too, if you don't mind me asking what is your BMI? they required me to do the 6 month diet reguardless of my BMI but if you are at 40 BMI or above you don't need to have documented comorbidities well their "approved" comorbidities. Good luck keep us updated

For ppo you have to do 6 months..i had ppo and switched it to hmo and got approved immediatly...good luck to y'all
