Anyone w/ BC of Ca go through a Centers of Expertise?

Sandy will you let me know how your appointment goes tonight? I have Anthem HMO 100 %. I just recently went to my family doctor in Northridge and found out my blood pressure is 171/104. She prescribed me medication and scheduled a full physical on June 10th. I have not asked her to yet to refer me for this procedure because I'm not sure if my insurance would cover it. I weigh 220 lbs at 5' 7" and I am 39 years old. Like I said, I have severly high blood pressure. I would like to weigh 135, but I don't know if 85 lbs is enough weight for me to qualify for my insurance coverage. What process have you gone through so far to get this appointment? -

Hi everyone I'm hoping one of you can help me. I am 5' 7" and currently weigh 220 lbs. I believe my BMI is at 34, but I am not sure. I am not even sure if I am considered a low BMI. I am 39 years old and my blood pressure was last checked two weeks ago at 174/104, which is severe. My doctor prescribed me medication to control it and I am supposed to go back for a full physical on June 10 at which time I want to inform her that I would like to receive the lapband proceedure. My question is this- Does anyone know if my insurance would approve this for me? I have Anthem Blue Cross HMO 100%. I would like to return to my normal weight of 135 lbs, but I'm not sure if being 85 lbs overweight is enough to qualify for insurance coverage.
