They still think it is required. I don't think they know what they are doing..anyway, tomorrow I'm going to the office and talk with them in person and I'm going to ask them to submit my paperwork to BCBS. I have the 5 yr wt documentation, Bmi 44 plus two co morbidities, and I listed several wt loss attempts in the past which covers the failed conservative treatments. Hopefully I will be approved...thank you again for your help
