ok this went really fast...I talked to the office yesterday to see if they submitted my information to BC/BS and it was around 2pm. She told me she was just gathering everything and was going to fax it over. First thing this morning BANG!!!! a call your approved and your scheduled for Feb 11th @ 1:30.Liquid diet starts on the 4th.:smile2:

So all of a sudden I'm scared and excited at the same time.

I know I will be fine but god I've been working on this through 2 different insurance companies.

So wish me luck..

congratulations and good luck!!!!!!!!!

i hope my approval goes quickly as well!!!

good luck to you! Im so happy for you

OMG!!!!!!! Congrats. I went to my surgeon today, I am also scheduled for Feb. 11, 2010, I am so excieted, yet nervous. I have two small children and I am a bit nervous about the general anesthesia because they need their mommy, but I think everything will be okay. We only have two weeks to go;yay!!!!!!..... I know I can't think about anything else..... Hopefully we can share our journey throughout this post. I wish you all the luck.

Congrats! I'm also February 11! YAY!

I remember my day too...that is SO exciting. I was dancing happy feet and scared too but you will do awesome!

I also got approved today and will be finding out my date tomorrow! I know i was soooo excited to get the message but my nerves started to kick in as well! I have two sets of twins at home ( two 3yr olds and two 2 yr olds) so i am also kind of wondering how coming home after surgery will be! i think my biggest worry is not drinking when eating,i know i can do it but this whole process will be completely life changing and that is a very good thing!

Congratulations!

whooooooooo whooooooo!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!:biggrin: I also know the feeling, as I got word this week that I got approved and my surgery date is 2/25/10. I will attend my first support meeting on 2/8/10 and have to do a two week liquid diet starting 2/11/10. Anthem BC/BS is my provider and I'm in New Mexico. Like yourself I'm both excited and scared, but know that its all good:thumbup:
