Anyone have experience with State Workers BCBS plan of North Carolina? I have a BMI of 38.5 with co-morbidities of elevated cholesterol, asthma, and extensive family history of heart disease. Am I dreaming that I will get approved? God I really hope not

Hi! From your weight loss graph it seems like you started at the same BMI as I am currently (40ish) and there fore are looking at a similar loss to meet our goal. Was it difficult to get approval without being severely or morbidly obese from the start? Do you have any co-morbidity issues? Just curious is all. I am currently at aprox 265lbe and my goal is 175ish. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Sounds like you are doing great! Keep it up. What has your weight loss rate been roughly? Thanks for your response

I have recently decided to look into the lap band procedure. I am not critically overweight but have been overweight my entire life. I am looking at the lapband as a tool towards my goal. I currently weigh 260 (approx) and am 5'10" and am hoping to lose the "2--" once and for all I have a family history rotten with heart disease, and most of my family on both sides suffers or suffered with serious vascular, cardiac disease etc. Needless to say these outcomes do not interest me. I am interested in this procedure specifically because of it's adaptability and the less invasive surgery.
