Hello Sandy,
I have bcbs and i fought to get my surgery for over a year. I was originaly seeking the duadonal switch, wwhich in my opinion is way better and for my medical needs it was necessary but I ended up getting the RNY LAP. I am happy that they paid for one of the surgerys but honestly in my opinion they are far from professional.... lets face it one would think that their attending physician would know what he is talking about and those nurses at bcbs think they know you better than your own doc. pretty crazy if you ask me. BUT I am now on the other side hoping and praying like everything that I didn't go through all that for nothing I have lost a significant amount of weight but I amm worried, I read an article on "the pain of regain after WLS" I hope I have nothing to worry about.
