Can anyone with BCBS of Illinois please share their stories with me...

My insurance paperwork will be submitted for approval by the end of next week, and I am really nervous about being denied. I am 23 years old, have a BMI of 45.9, and have some co-morbidities such as joint and back pain, swelling in the extremities, depression, hypertension, and shortness of breath. I have documented history of my weight loss failures, but I have never been "officially" put on a physician-supervised weight loss program. I'm worried that this will hinder the decision. Please share your comments with me.
