Hi there! I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate around here. I had my info seminar and my orientation was July 16th. I am scheduled for my first dr's appt on August 23rd. I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with BCBS of NC. I am a federal employee-I think our program is a little different. We have to have a BMI of 40 or 35 with co-morbidities. The problem with the 40 BMI is that we have to prove that morbid obesity has been present the previous 2 years. 2009 is no problem..I've got that. But for 2008, I didn't show morbid obesity until December-it may have been present before that, but that's when I actually weighed in with a doctor. I'm worried that this disqualify me. I have 2 doctors who have written referral letters for me to undergo bariatric surgery. Any advice?:smile2:

Hello,

I am in NC also but since my employer is out of another state I have BCBS of MA.

Good luck! I hope it works out for you!
