Good Morning Everybody......I will be hanging out here a little more now that the first hurdle has been crossed. BCBSIL gave me a fit but that over and on to the good stuff.

I am hoping to be banded somewhere around March 18th. To actually lose more than the same 20 pounds, wow, I'm excited.

Have a great day everybody...:thumbup:.

Congrats to you. And to think I complained because my insurance took me through hoops and it took 4 months. I am happy for you.

Thanks for the congrats. This has been a long time coming for me. I have been on and off about the whole thing. It tickles me when I see some of my old posts from 2006. This is my year..Yea!!!!

My surgery date is April 1st. Isn't that a hoot???

Wow, you have been moving that weight out.. You are doing a terrific job. Congrats to you....

Yikes! I have BCBSIL too, so now I'm worried! I haven't finished my monthly monitored weight loss, so my papers haven't even been submitted yet. But what took them so long for you??

But I'm happy for you -- I'm looking SO forward to getting all this done and getting my surgery scheduled!!

No need to worry, my first 6 mos diet was not accepted because of the format of the progress notes. So, I had to do the 6 mos all over. It actually only took 8 days after the resubmission. I'm just thankful that I am approved now.
