I tried starting the process this past summer but was told my 2 year weight history showed a BMI under 35 in 2012. I have BCBC federal. Was referred to a new doctor a few weeks a go and I've already had nutrition, first group, endoscopy, and stress test! sleep study tomorrow and psych eval next week. Whew!!! Next it's 2 more groups for November and December. I've asked for them to submit to insurance in January so that they can submit 2013-14 as to alleviate my weight in 2012. I have chronic hbp and had my thyroid removed in 2012. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

I'm hoping to have my surgery late October! My situation is a bit confusing. My BMI is 36.6 but I have chronic hypertension which I've had for years! I have bcbs federal which requires a 2 year history of weight issues which I have but not sure if I was at 35 bmi the entire 2 years. I have my second appt next week with 2 more appts after that plus the psych eval. I became overweight after having my thyroid removed a few years ago and really want this surgery!! Anyone with similar experience or advice?
