I got the referral from my PCP and finally got my appointment to visit the Surgeons office. I go through the measuring, photo taking, test taking process and find out that my insurance (blue cross hmo) isnt' paying the surgeon the 4,000 for the band so the dr that my insurance referred me to in the first place isnt performing this procedure- HOWEVER he is doing the gastric bypass. i weigh 242 lbs and I'm about 5 4. should i do the bypass?

I have my appointment with the Surgeons Assistant and I was told I will have a psych evaluation. I'm super excited and anxious. Can anyone tell me what to expect at the seminar and evaluation?

Thank you ! My doc submitted my request (or so she said) and I was sent for blood work this morning. She said we will have to wortk together to build a case. Im so excited!!

Hi everyone! My history... I am 27 years old. I weigh 245 and am 5 feet 3 inches. I've done Jenny, atkins, and swallowed those horrible trimspa pills!! I am meeting with my doctor today to talk about the possibilty of the surgery and I'm wondering if anyone has gone through Blue Cross??
