Congratulations!!!

Congratulations !! I have BCBS/TX also. I would have to gain 25lbs before they will approve me and then I assume they still may not so that is a huge decision to make. Plus I seem to have a VERY STEEP deductible at $6000 !!! OUCH! Not sure how to find out of I would have to pay the whole amount or not.

I have BCBC/TX - my information will be submitted the first week of April - I pray I get my approval that quickly! Yea for you!

Wow that is pretty steep. My yearly deductible for the family was 2500.00 and I have met it so the surgery is 560.00. Did you find out if you can have a lower bmi if you have co morbidity problems and qualify? My bmi is 37.
