BCBS in upstate NY...

[OnlyDownFromHere 6]

Anyone else have it? I have it through my employer. Getting the surgery at the same hospital I work at too.

I am meeting with the surgeon in a couple months but I'm told already by the PA that I shouldn't have any problems, by the looks of it.

I didn't have to lose weight. I'm 43 BMI, age 23, with a couple comorbidities. My cholesterol is high, my LDL is high, I have insulin resistance. They made me have at least 5-6 weigh ins, which I have done already.

I guess I'm worried about history. My PCP wrote my letter stating I have over 5 years of being obese. I have maybe 3 years documented at that one hospital of me being at least 37 (37 was my lowest, mostly been 40+) BMI with my comorbids, but I didn't see a doctor much in college, but I was obese that whole time.

Thoughts?

Also wonder if age would be an issue.

I have not been diagnosed with GERD but I suspect I have it. I had to go for a chest xray 2 months ago because I aspirated my vomit in my sleep.

I've been taking PPIs ever since.
