Hello All! I have been looking into the surgery and called the insurance company but I felt as if I got the run around. I am 33yrs old with two wonderful boys, one is 5yrs old and the baby is 6 months. Since having the baby my body is gaining weight and not losing which isnt justifying much. But I do have high blood pressure and a few other medical problems. I also just signed up for a seminar to attend after the New Year. Please let me know if anyone else from North Carolina has Blue Cross Blue Shield and had the surgery done.

Started the process on 10/25/2010 by attending a seminar w/the doctor followed by several support group meeting. Approval within 2 weeks of paperwork being submitted. Good Luck
