I am on my mom's insurance, which is blue cross blue shield. I'm 3 months in on my 6 month pre-op period, and I know that's just to determine if I'm eligible to get the surgery. My question is who else has BCBS and had to go through the 6 month process and what are my chances of being approved? I am just worried that I'll go through all of this and then I'll end up getting denied. The possibility being there really worries me.

Hello! I was banded on 11/12/08 and I have BCBS. I did have to do the 6 month weight loss appointments. I was told at the beginning of the criteria. I met all criteria and the surgery was appoved the first time it was submitted. Hang in there!!!!!!! BCBS did not let me down!
