I have BCBS IL I am waiting to here. I do have bariatric on my plan. My BMI is just at 40.5 so let keep our finger crossed.

I can not beleive you are already are eating normal food. I have 6 weeks of protien shakes, milk, yogurt, Jello, and puddings. I can do a yogurt and a protien shake and maybe a glass of milk a day. I was banded on 8/1/13. It is hard for me to get in all my protien and Water.< /p>

This is my first surgery too. That is why I am nervous. I know I can do it though. All they keep on telling me is walk so that you heal faster.

I have BCBS of IL as well. Used true results Dallas. My coverage was BMI >40 or >35 with 2 comorbidities. Im over 35 but without comorbidities.... but I had "hernia repair via Lap Band" coverage, so after an EGD to show hiatal hernia (practically everyone with excess belly fat has at least a small one) I was good to go. Did have to pay a couple grand out of pocket though.
