just wanted to let you all know of my experience. my BMI is between 35 and 40, and my program was concerned that I may not be approved by Blue Cross Blue Shield with just hypertension. Therefore part of my program included being evaluated for other conditions. It turned out that I have both fatty liver and severe sleep apnea. while I am not thrilled to know that my obesity has led to all of these conditions, it does help my cause for getting surgery approved. I completed my program last week and my packet was submitted to Blue Cross Blue Shield late last week. I called customer service at Blue Cross Blue Shield a couple of times just to check and I found out early this week that they had approved my surgery within three hours of submission of my packet! I found out before the bariatric surgery office could let me know. good luck to you all.
