I am only in the beginning stages of considering surgery. If this is not in the right place please feel free to move it. I am 5'0 tall, weigh 185 lbs, BMI is 35.8. I also have high cholesterol and sleep apnea. I am not sure if my Blue Cross will cover. I go today for my referral appointment. I truly hope I can get approved. I am so sick of this 20plus years of constant weight loss battle.
