City of New York employee - Empire BCBS & GHI

Hi,
I see that you have reached your goal-CONGRATULATIONS!!! Also, I am a City of New York employee who also has GHI/BCBS and from your posts we appear to have very similar BMIs . I am still pre op but hope to have surgery very soon since i have completes all pre op testing and the 6 month weight monitoring. Any advice and/or experiences you can share are greatly needed and appreciated. I see you havent posted for some time but hope that you will see this post. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

I have the same insurance GHI/BCBS and they are making me jump throough hoops.

How did everything work out with you?  I too have GHI (PPO) with a BMI of 40 and was wondering if they will give me a hard time to get approved.  Thanks in advance.
