Dr.'s Visit scheduled

Yesterday I received a phone call from the surgeons office to set up an appt.. i called back this morning to find out what the appt was for and when i could get in - the nurse said that itwould be for my first consultation .. She said that BCBS/IL does cover 80% of my surgery and the consult would be to go over my general health and to discuss whtat BCBS/IL would need me to do in order to cover the cost of the surgery. I couldn't get in to see the surgeon until 02/25/09- that is about 1 month from now, so until then, i will be waiting to hear more. I guess I am on my way and i know there is still a very long way to go!

it takes a lot of time to get through all this. i started out in 2/08 n was banded on 1/08/09. but it was all worth it! best of luck to u!
