Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have responsed to several posts. I am so excited so excuse me if a ramble. I started this weight lose journey in Sept. I was weighting 226 and presently weight 216. The surgeon's staff said all my paper work was submitted last week to allow 1-7 days for BCBS NC approval. So I called BCBS 11-14. They informed me that it was pending to call back Thursday or Friday. Yesterday at 12:30 the office called me and said I was approved! They had an opening 11-20 for the visit before the surgery to bring paperwork from job to be filled out and the visit is 4 hours because they have to go over my diet plan before and after surgery. I am so excited it can take as long as needed. I will find out then my surgery date. I am praying for 11-26 because my cousin and I want to have ours the same day. If not, sometimes that week. My birthday is the 11-29 and that will be a great gift for me. Yeaaaaaaaa, soon and very soon, I will be joining the rest of you losers on the losers bench. My surgeon only requires the day before liquid diet. Life is good!!!!

My surgery is the 21st and the excitement of approval is still fresh in my mind. Congrats!!

Congratulation on approval!!!! and Good Luck.

Thank you!!!
