Hey, everybody, this is my first post. Southern Ocean County Hospital has a new "hub" for bariatric surgery. I had my first visit with the surgeon last week, and my first of six nutrition appts late in Feb. My BMI is 46, and I have the following co-morbid conditions: severe sleep apnea, diabetes, GERD, HTN, & asthma. Does anybody have experiece with the State plan, NJ Direct 15, which is a BC/BS program. I'm relying on SOCH for all my instructions, but I don't want to make any mistakes. I have been very overweight for at least 10 years (with weights documented in my chart), but have never paid for an "official" weight loss program before. Also, what if my internist doesn't agree that this is the right road for me (they seem very eager to get the business at SOCH, and disagree completey)? thank you.
