So is your bmi under 40? Mine is 43 and the policy states if it's between 35 and 40 is when you need another reason such as diabetes or hbp. I know it's frustrating, I'm dreading that part of the whole thing.

Lucky2014, did you get approved? I also have the 80/20 teachers and state employees bcbs. I haven't been for my first appt yet which is 11/17. Just wondering what you have had to go through and why you had to appeal? I do know the 6 mon supervised diet is no longer needed. I have the surgeon, dietician and psych evaluation appts set up. Just trying to get an idea of how many appts you had before the papers were sent to bcbs. Although I know each doctor is different. I already meet the requirements for bcbs as far as weight and bmi. Thanks for any info you can give me to help me out.

Winston Salem here. Just starting out. First surgeon appt is 11/17.
