Anumarie 17 Posted July 17, 2015 First find a surgeon that you are comfortable with. Once you have chosen your doctor, they will walk you through the steps and their office will go through all the insurance red tape for you. Also, the surgeons office usually recommends a psychiatrist and nutritionist for you. As far as Fed BCBS goes they want you to have three months of documented medically supervised weight loss program, actually four, your initial visit and three visits thereafter. I hope this info helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
