Hi Stephanie. I have my first appt. with Duke WLS 9/19. My biggest fear is that I won't be approved for surgery. I have State Employees BCBS and they're tricky to get approval from. According to them I haven't been overweight enough, for long enough! even though I know I've been losing this battle for 40 years!!! I have mild-mod. sleep apnea, but so far no other co-morbidities. I have all of my preliminary tests scheduled this coming Tuesday--all in one day! Won't that be fun! Maybe they'll find something else that will improve my chances of getting approved--how crazy does that sound, to want them to find something wrong! I thought I read in an earlier post that you have already been approved by your insurance company. How do you manage that? I need any help I can get! Maybe we'll meet up along at Duke/DRH someway along the way. Any one else out there from the Triangle area?
