Huber, I was just told by BCBS that I was too big for Lapband (my surgery was schedualed for Monday) My BMI is 50+ and they said it needed to be around 40. I would have to lose 100 lbs to get my surgery to lose the other 100, They will approve Bypass. I do not want to be pushed to major surgery but I do not want to stay big. How fast was your reply after your appeal and how did you appeal? -
I am very confused. Iwas just denired lap Band surgery by BCBS because my BMI was over 50 . They would approve Gastric bypass but I would need to get my BMI down to 40 to have the Band approved does this sound right to you guys? :help:
