Thank you all for responding to my question! Today is my first day on the forum. I am very nervous about not being able to get approval. I tried oral meds to control my pseudotumor but i discontinued treatment due to the severe side effects. I was also on a medically supervised diet but my Dr discontinued treatment due to my elevated HR. Hoping my medical records will be sufficient to cover the 6 month diet required by BCBS IL.

I'm currently at a BMI of 35.7 and I have pseudotumor cerebri which is believed to be highly affected by excess weight. Has anyone been able to get approval using this rare disease as a comorbidity? FYI I also have asthma, sleep apnea, swelling feet, and I'm on metoprolol for fast HR.
