Hi Honeybee.. I work for blue cross and they have included weight loss surgery in their benefits. So the first thing you will need to do is call your cs and find out whether or not weight loss surgery is a covered benefit. Although we both have blue cross, the employer decides on whether or not weight loss surgery is covered, not blue cross.. but if it is covered have them send you out info regarding requirements. Mine was fairly easy. i had a bmi of 45 w/o any comorbid conditions. Just start with your customer servce

So, I read a blog you had posted stating that you had bluecross blueshield. I have it too. I've had weight issues all of my life. I'm 5'8, weigh 260, and have a bmi of 40. I don't have diabetes or heart issues. Sometimes my blood pressure may be a little elevated at 130's over 80's. What do you think my chances of getting insurance coverage for the LAP-BAND?? I can't afford to pay for surgery in the US if insurance won't help. I really don't want to have to go to Mexico to get it done. Any advice? What's the process I need to go through to get it done? Where and how do I start? Please help! I'm clueless on how to get this process started.
