how did you get the answers and where did you find them?   my job switched over to bcbs on january 1st and I have begun the process with another insurance company....i'm hoping I will still be able to have my surgery as planned.  Thank you so much!

did you get approved?  I am with bcbs now and I am trying to get approval?  Any advice

 Yes I did. In fact I just had my surgery this Past Monday. I didn't have any issues with bcbs the only issue I have heard of is having to attend nutrition counseling. Otherwise it was smooth sailing.  Good luck and let me know how you make out. 

congrats

How are you since surgery? Are you able to be up and about in a few days?  I am wondering about people who went from lapband to vsg a year later.  Do you know if they have to do the diet?
