JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted December 17, 2012 I have BCBS NJ also. I was sleeved last Tuesday. For my plan (Direct Access) I was required to have a Psych consult, a Nutritional Consult, a 2 year weight history, and a letter from me stating what I have tried to do to lose weight and my history. I was approved within a week . Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
