Step 1 - Done

So my insurance will pay 100%, no copay, no deductible (in general, though I myself am not yet approved), and I've got my consultation scheduled. Yay! This is the phone message I just got (my phone company sends transcribed voicemails to my email, which I LOVE):

"Hi! This is ***** calling from Dr. ****'s Office. Just want to let you know that we have verified your benefits with your insurance company for the Lap-Band. If you could just give me a callback at your convenience. I can be reached at *******. Thank you."

And I go in to see the surgeon on May 20. They say they can usually get you scheduled within 4-6 weeks of your consultation, so I should be banded by early July! YAY!!!!!!!!!

what insurance comapny do you have??

I have Blue Cross of North Carolina's PPO plan, through my employer. I already loved my job - now I love it even more!!
