I've just started getting all of my testing out the way in preparation of the surgeon sending my records to the insurance company for approval. I'm wondering if anyone else has used BCBS NYS Teamsters and how the approval process went. I have a BMI of 37.5 but I have mild sleep apnea, mild heart condition with a letter from the cardiologist stating that weightloss would benefit my heart condition and I also have high cholesterol. Anyone else with similar conditions and how fast was the approval or denial (hopefully the first one). Thanks in advance for your response.
