Has anyone with insurance been denied because of an obesity clause "bcbsok" and still get the insurance to pay for it. bcbsok has one but I meet all the bad criteria. I am 35 and would love to live. It is like I can't shake this 100lbs and its causing havoc on me.

My primary doesn't believe in the procedure but reading these posts and meeting people I believe in it.

Sleep apnea, high blood pressure, type 2 onset diabetes, and joint pain. You name it I have it.

If I understand this right it means that the state of OK excludes WLS. Most Ne is the same way but there are some law suits out there trying to get it changed. I hope that is not your case. I live in Ne but luckily our insurance is BCBS of Iowa. They were great. I had the bet luck getting on the insurance Web site and our offers a case manager and I used her to really get the inside track on the insurance.

Good Luck to you, even though I have had some infection isssues this is the best decision I have ever made for myself.
