I just called my insurance company to check on the status of my approval/denial. The told me that a letter was mailed to my dr on 3/25 stating that I met the requirements for the surgery!!! I'm SO happy and SO nervous!! :thumbup:

Congrats! I too was told this morning that I am approved! I was so pumped. Surgery scheduled for April 9th. Good luck on your journey, Waynooo

Good for you...I was told last Thursday that I was approved...I just knew I wasn't going to be...but I guess I did everything right...My surgery is Tuesday...I am on the clear liquid diet...it is hard....but worth it....

Good Luck...

Natalie

that's just great!!! congrats and i wish you the best of luck!!! please keep us posted.:thumbup:

Congratulations!!!! I remember that feeling as well.

I'm so jealous of the three of you! Congratulations!

My day will come...

Congrats! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I never thought I'd ever see this side of the fence but I'm glad it's over. Just remember that after surgery is going to be a little tough. You'll probably be asking yourself why you did it but that's normal. I'm not trying to scare you, just prepare you. In the end it's worth it. It's going to take a least a few days to get back to feeling somewhat normal. Hang in there and every day gets better! :thumbup:

Congrats! It's a great feeling to finally get approved isn't it? Good luck!!!

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I have a minor roadblock in my way right now, but I'm faithful that it will be fixed as well. When the drs office called to re-verify my benefits, they found out that for some reason my benefits were cancelled from October 2009-December 2009 (or something like that) even though I used them during that time and been covered by this policy since July 2008. It was an error on the part of my employer that they are having to work out between themselves and BCBS...otherwise, my pre-existing condition (morbid obesity) will not be covered until December 20, 2010. I look forward to posting a positive update to this tomorrow!
