  1. I have been to several seminars and honestly did not think that I could get approved through my insurance. and I was afraid of the procedure. I dont have $16,000 for a self-pay but I am worn out from being overweight. Sick of feeling depressed and unattractive. I want my life back.:frown: Last year I went to a "fat doctor" in Lansing for about 3 months and again this October. Taking Adipex I lost about 30 pounds then gained back about 40 pounds. The year before that I went to Dr. Gumpta & Dr. Aveilio ( i am sure i misspelled his name) in Chicago 2 months each. Maybe lost 2o pounds combined. I do not have any problems other than depression and aniexty from they constant yo-yo dieting. I am sure that getting the 5 year history will not be a problem. I am not sure about the 6 months supervised diet. Policy does not specify 6 consecutive months. What actually does BCBS of IL need as far as documentation. I have an appointment with a surgeon @ Day One on Friday. I am just ready to get this ball rolling. Just praying I can get approved and free myself from this jail my body has me in. I would appreciate ANY and ALL advise as to what information I need to collect to make sure my submission to the insurance company goes smoothly. :angry_smile:
