Thanks for sharing Kat! Molly...Molly (lol) you threw so many things at me at once I started to panic. I've never had a test done for sleep apnea and my cholesterol is relatively normal. I honestly have no idea how close I am to being diabetic. I'll have to ask my PCP. I am currently on Hydrochlorathiazide for the pressure and antidepressants (depression and anxiety). I also have back and ankle pain. Hopefully those factors will help.

Hi all.:thumbup: 0I actually found this site back in 2006 when I was researching the lap band procedure. Anyway, I would really appreciate your input on my situation. Here is my case... My BMI is 38. I have high blood pressure which is controlled by a low dose medication and am Prediabetic according to my PCP. I currently have Empire BCBS. According to their website if I were to qualify for the surgery it would be covered 100%. Is there anyone in here who is or was in a similar situation? Please share the outcome. BTW I am scheduled for a free seminar at NYU on 5/8 and am really hoping everything works out in my favor. I am tired for being fat. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response ladies. Bel, I guess you're right. I'm just being a little impatient. It's just that I so want to be able to have this done and there is no way I can pay out of pocket. Tracy I only did a bit of research back then. I didn't really start investigating it until my recent visit with my PCP who told me it might be possible through my insurance and suggested I sign up for the free seminar at NYU. I have been absorbing as much info as I can since then. I am curious though - what can I expect to get from the seminar? I know, I know - why not just wait and find out - but I am so excited!
