I called those Nice folks at BCBS today--they said 'YES"!

Oh my goodness! I am soooo excited!

I have to go call my mom, but wanted you guys to know FIRST, since you have been holding my hand all this time!

WOOHOOOO--my last fat happy dance!

Kimberly

Yeah, Kimberly!!!!! Start getting used to drinking lots of water NOW! and trying not to drink w/ your meals or 30 min. to an hr. after. It will really help you to already be in that habit BEFORE surgery. I'm so excited for you!

Congratulations!!!!!

Kimberly, that's wonderful!!! You're on your way, lady. Congratulations!!! :cool: :D

So Happy for you! Congratulations:banana

WEll, I have to tell you all that I am MOSTLY excited about the potential for new clothes! I am so tired of my black, khaki or brown clothes--i never wear much color--

My passion in the summer is Lilly Pulitzer--no plus size there, so my goal is to buy some for NEXT summer and look as good as I will feel!

I just bought a 2X Lilly-like shirt from Key West, but I need it for a party--my last fat summer party!

I can't wait till next summer!

New clothes, new bod! OMG! Laughing just thinking about what everyone will say!

Yes, the dark colors! Don't you feel like you're going to a never-ending funeral? And I really don't know if dark colors "minimize" that much anyway.

Congrats, Kimber-lilly! I'm so excited for you!:cool:

HUGE CONGRATS Kimber-Lilly. I am so happy for you. I can feel the excitement flowing through your words. It is contagious. See I am dancing too. :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Taking a break from my shopping, ahem....hate to miss a good sale!

How long for you guys between "approved" and "done"????

They said they will call me to schedule, but I don't know if that means "wait by the phone" or go live your life for three weeks......

PARALYZED with EXCITEMENT!

Dancing a fat, nekkid happy dance the likes have never been seen before!

I think I was approved and done in about 4 weeks?
