I am currently booking sleeve surgery with Dr. Lopez in Mexico for mid January. Is anyone else scheduled around that same time with him? Also I would love to hear people experiences with him.

As I sit here at work not focused, today I received notice I was denied by Anthem Blue Cross. They feel as though I do not have any life threatening illness due to my weight; UGH. BMI is 36, I have mild sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, GERD, infertility issues, joint pain, ulcers and a long family history of obesity. I am so devasted. My doctor's office has scheduled peer to peer conference call for next Monday. Has anyone heard of success after a peer to peer review? Thanks.

I heard back from insurance company in 3 days.

I have Anthem too. Was anyone's BMI below 40?
