      They are awesome - I had no major hoops to go thru (no diet history; length of being obese etc). I started the process January 11th and will have surgery on April 11th. It would have been sooner but

    That is great. They approved me super fast too. My doctor's office told me it would take 6 weeks to get approval. But it actually only took 3-4 days. :)

    And...the crazy thing...I live in KS, but I work remotely for a software development firm. That firm is in Mass. Had I been covered by BCBS of Kansas, they wouldn't have covered the surgery! Crazy.
