Cortney,
Way to go in taking your first steps on this new journey. In all of the seminars I have attended part of the process is an explanation of what one can expect from the insurance process. Obviously every office handles them slightly different, but the important thing I have heard from a number of people is to stay on top of the process and do not get discouraged. I wish you all the best as you embark on this journey. Strap in and get ready for an awesome trip. I would start it all over again today if I had to. I have my life back and with each day it only gets better.

If I had to make one suggestion to you it would be to get involved in some sort of support group either online or in person (or better yet - do both) prior to having suregery. You might find yourself in information overload or analysis paralysis, but whatever work you can do prior to surgery will only help afterwards.

Good Luck just went to my first seminar lasr fri and I also have BCBS thru Nissan and they told me they only pay 50% of any of the WLS and 90% of after care on the lap-band but still only 50% for the surgery so doesn't look like I will be gettin any but hopefully your BCBS is different let me know what you find out good luck!!!
