Thanks. I did see the web site but if you look closer, it doesn't actually give specifics. I did call BC/BS and they weren't much help since I am not in their system yet. My doc thinks I will be OK, and it appears the criteria is pretty much the same at AETNA. Fingers crossed.

I apologize if this is the wrong area to post, please point me in the right direction if there's a better one. I've completed all my requirements for sleeve surgery under AETNA. The doc was ready to go ahead with my paperwork for pre-authorization, when my husband quit his job and started a new one. New insurance is Capitol BC/BS of Harrisburg. I know they cover bariatric surgery, but for the life of me, I cannot find the exact requirements. Our new insurance doesn't kick in until he's at the job for a month, so that will be Feb. 11. I am trying to decide if I should just pay another month of COBRA and get the surgery done under AETNA, or wait until Feb. 11 and try to get approved with the new insurance. I hate to have to start all over again. I am a mess with this decision. My fear is that the new insurance will make me wait another 3 months or so. I only had to do 3 months with AETNA. Thanks!

What insurance do you have if you do not mind me asking?

Not snore like a banshee!

Definitely having a hard time fitting on a roller coaster this summer.
