Hi everyone! Newbie!

Hi Everyone! I have been lurking for a few weeks as I found this site right at the time I started my journey to have WLS. I have learned so so much!

Currently, I have 2 outstanding items before submitting to BCBSIL. My PCP's letter and my visit with the NUT. I have everything else. I just got about the best news today, my firm will pay for Short Term Disability 12 weeks at 100%. I can't imagine I will need 12 weeks, but nice to know its covered.

I am in St. Louis, MO and am going throught St. Alexius Hospital New Start which was 1 of the BCBSIL recommended hospitals of excellence.

Just wanted to come out of hiding as I am at the home stretch now...

Good luck to everyone and I'll try to post again once I get the BIG NEWS!!!

Thanks,

Joan
