Hi there MIMI,
I assume you have gone to CHRIAS. Try not to worry about the BC/BS thing. What it means is that they are in negotiations for how much the insurance wants to pay and how much the doc charges. My suggestion is to get everything done--as far as all of your other doc stuff and wait out CHRIAS. I think they will know in the next week or so.
I just had a LAPBAND on 9/13 and have BC/BS of DE. Even if there is a problem--I don't know of other surgeons--there are none in any other county than NC.
good luck.
it will work out and all of the work you are doing will be worth it. I felt the same way. Had my 2 week today and have lost 13 lbs.
