Yes..... I am a BMI of 35 with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. On meds for both....

Then, last fall my doctor said my A1C was a little high so they put me on Metformin. I couldn't tolerate it well, so i stopped taking it. When I had my initial consultation my surgeon said to continue filling ALL 3 prescriptions until I'm approved for surgery.

I'm with BCBS of NC and got approved in 3 days. I think it was a shock to all of us, including my surgeon. I really thought I would be turned down. I even called BCBS myself to make sure that all is a "go", because surgery is on Monday 6/22
