Has anyone had VS pushed through due to medical issues? My BCBS Fed requires 4 months of medically supervised weight loss and counseling, but I am an uncontrolled diabetic. From what I have researched a lot of my medical problems may go away very soon after the surgery.

I would appreciate any info from the folks here. I am so glad I found this site.

I'm sorry you are having problems...I've heard BCBS is really "sticklers" about the pre op process. One thing, I was thinking...have you had any nutrition training due to your DM? Sometimes insurance companies will accept previous nutritional training. Maybe check into that? Hope it helps!!

God Bless!

Thanks for your reply MsDebi. I have gone through 3 training courses for different doctors in the last 12 years. I will check with the surgeon and my primary care doctor. That is a good idea.

Take care!
