Hey guys- I'm new; just decided that I want to do this. I go Tuesday night for the free seminar at River Oaks Hospital. I live in the Jackson area. Has anyone had the surgery through River Oaks, or by the surgeons there?
Also, I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of MS. Has anyone had problems getting approved through these guys? I'm very scared that I am going to have to fight insurance on this. My policy states an exclusion on "exogenous obesity" and treatment through surgery or drugs. I'm hoping that since "exogenous" means obesity caused by overeating, that they will approve me because it is "medically necessary". Anyone have any advice?
