I also have BCBS PPO and I was approved within 15 days. I am about 6 weeks out and down 21 lbs. I would do it all over again. Good Luck Rose

I don't think it is the insurance, but more what your particular plan provides. Some employers pay for the option of WLS, other employers will not consider it. So if you are working, check with your employer and HR to see what your particular plan provides.

I've heard United is good in general for WLS. I'd find out which plans are offered by your company and see what their policy is.  Ours allows revisions... but you basically have to requality... meaning BMI of 40+ and 6 month diet.  Blech! (I love St. George... one of my diet attempts was a month at the National Institute of Fitness (now Red Mountain).) :)

Lap-Band June 14, 2001. Dr. Rumbaut, Monterrey, Mexico.
Lap-Band removed after 7 years and converted to Sleeve Gastrectomy on July 7, 2008 by Dr. Roslin.  I've had three happy healthy Lap-Band babies.... and one VSG baby.  5 years out from revision to VSG.  Gained 55 pounds in past 5 months, now considering DS. :(
