I'd love to hear from anyone that has BCBS of MI PPO. My insurance is under my husband, and he is a Ford retiree. I talked to a benefits rep the other day from BCBS and she said that the sleeve is an approved surgery as stage 1in a 2 part surgery for duodenal switch. Approved for age 18-60. I am 60 and will be 61 in December. Also, was told that I needed a 6 month documented diet with in the last 4 years. So my question is at age 60 already and without a 6 month documented diet, am I just out of luck for insurance to ever be approved?
