 I am so excited - overwhelmed actually that when I checked the bariatric surgery policy for BCBSNC they have made a policy change and they now WILL pay for vertical sleeve gastrectomy!!

I never thought this would happen - now I can go ahead and do this AND my insurance will pay for it.

I'm happy for you. I had gastric bypass 6 years ago. I had bcbsnc and back then that is all they would pay for. I am glad they changed it. I wanted the sleeve. But glad I got it  all over with.

 And you look great!  I was SO tempted to go with the gastric bypass, but really, really wanted the sleeve.  Just didn't know how I was going to be able to get it.
