I'm just getting started. I start my labs & test next week I am insured by Anthem BCBS in Ok I'm hoping I get approved quickly I have a BMI of 39 with Diabetes and sleep apnea I'm excited & nervous I haven't shared with my family. I want to wait till I am locked in I guess I'm afraid my family will think I'm taking the easy way although I know it is really tough and a lot of work I would love any encouragement & experiences using my insurance company also interested in any weight loss support meetings in SW Oklahoma wish me luck....smile
