Hi! I read your post about meeting the BMI requirement. I have Empire BCBS (I live in NC but the company I work for has Empire in NY) and they have the 40> without comorbities and 35> with. I do not have any diagnosed comorbitites and I was approved yesterday. My BMI is also right on the line but I went through my family history (it's a strong history) and built my case on that. I wish you the best!!

Cecilia: GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DOCTOR and your appointment! :) Congratulations on your impending surgery. Mine is 10/8, and I have been in this process for 8 months! The support groups are mandatory, but you will see how helpful and inspirational they are. I have met some of the nicest people of my life there! We're all there for the same reason, and nobody speaks down to us. Good Luck and keep us all posted. We're rooting for you and your success! ~~HUGS~~

I spoke to my primry care physician today about gastric bypass. The doctor I will be seeing is in Lebanon, NH Dartmouth Medical Center. The surgery will be laparoscopy style. I have to go to a support meeting before I can have a consultation. I am very excited!! Thanks to all you who have helped me with my decision.
