Where in OK? I'm in OKC and going to Dr Hamilton Le at Baptist Integris. I just started the process and will meet with doc on April 18.

Maybe I can finally hit "The Spot" again!

I have BCBS Fed Basic but also have Health Choice which is the Oklahoma state employee insurance. I am hoping (fingers crossed) that they will pick up some of the deductibles even though bariatric is not covered under them. We will see.<br />

OKC here. BCBS FED covers it. I guess there are drastic differences in the FED and OK plan.

I meet mine on April 18th. Insurance is so weird about things. I did have to get a letter from my PCP also. I think I must have 2 years of records showing obesity too. I am soooo ready for this. Went to a support group meeting on Monday. It was pretty cool.

So, I know I am 300lbs of drop dead sexy but I also have type 2 diabetes, HBP, high cholesterol and sleep apnea. I feel miserable half the time but put on a good show. My endocrinologist had mentioned bariatric surgery a few times and was trying to get me to go to the seminar. I thought, "NO WAY! That is not for me" and kept putting it off. Then a few weeks ago a long time friend and grade school class mate put some pictures up 1 year post op. I was like "What The Fudge!!!" I immediately sent a message to her and began inquiring what she had done. She told me she had done the gastric sleeve. So I made the appointment and here I am.
