If you have BCBSIL they no longer have a medical assisted diet requirement. Just the Psych and Nutrition visits are required. But many people enjoyed their six month diets they met new people and learned lots of info. People also said it goes by quick. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Hello.. my insurance BCBS Illinois will not kick in until January 1, 2016 as well. So I will be beginning my process than too. I'm so excited and ready. Good luck to you!

Congratulations and good luck!!

Hello all! I'm new on here, and wanted to introduce myself. I'm in North Carolina, and just like most of you'll on here, I've been battling with my weight for years. I'm ready to beat this battle, and I'm hoping the sleeve will be that tool to help me succeed. I officially will be on my husband's insurance January 1, 2016. He has Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, and his policy does cover bariatric surgery. This is when I will be able to began my process. I've already attended many seminars this year. My family and friends are supportive, and so is my primary care physician. While I patiently wait (not.. lol) I like reading and putting in my research.. regarding bariatric surgery. I also really enjoy listening to other peoples experiences, as well. Is anyone else beginning their journey? I wish everyone the best of luck, and I look forward to hearing your journey. Addendum on 11/18/15 Height: 5'9 HW: 296 Current Weight as of 11/10/15: 270.5 Lbs (weighed at doctors office) Health issue: Currently taking medicine for Hypertension.
