    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?
