BCBS of michigan

I have my initial appointment on Wednesday, I have my documented diet and exercise, but I'm wondering, has anyone been approved for VSG with BCBS of Michigan? I'm afraid that they will only pay for the Lapband and Bypass. Thank!

    I do not have BCBS but I know some of the others in my WLS peer support group do and they have been able to get the sleeve. I believe BCBS started covering the sleeve as a stand alone procedure in Nov 2010. Where are you going for surgery? Good luck.

    Funny story, I actually live in FL, I am going to have it done here, Hopefully by summer I'll have approval and be set to go! Thanks so much!

    Hopefully all goes well wednesday, that's when I'll find out if they approve it :)
