Do anyone know if I will have issues with approval from BCBS of GA?

I don't know whether you will or not. My advice to you is to call them and ask them. If they say yes, then ask them to tell you what the criteria for approval is and they will tell you.:thumbup:

Hi. I have BCBSGA. They require a Nutrition Evaluation, a BMI of 35 with 1 co-morbidity or a BMI of 40+. My Dr's office submitted for approval on 8/17 and I was approved 9/1; my surgery is 9/22. They don't require a supervised diet or any % of weightloss; but your specific doctor might. I would call BCBSGA to verify your specific plan has bariatric benefits. [They can email you thier gastric policy, which lists their requirements for surgery in detail] Good Luck!
