Who is your provider? I'm in Hou, TX and waiting for an approval for blue cross blue shield AL and I'm hoping I won't have to do an appeal!!! I hate the waiting game! (I'm doing a revision)

The liquid diet isn't too bad. I have my good and bad days. I'm only on day 7 and I have 7 more to go. I think the problem is I'm used to snacking. I've come too far to mess up now.

I have the same insurance. I had no problem. When my doctors office faxed all of the paperwork I got my approval like 3 days later.

Cigna was mine and it was not easy but my denial was a mistake on my doctors behalf they missed paperwork so of course since it was denied I had to appeal it the two weeks later it was approved

Ms pinup congrats on getting your approval I'm sure you anxious and excited to start the new part of your life!!

You wont regret it.

I'm from Philly originally. Now I live in South Jersey. My surgery was done @ Barix in Langhorne, PA on May 5th, 2005. Congratulations. I'm having a consult with the reconstructive plastic surgery in a couple of weeks. So glad that you fought & won. Prayers for a fantastic outcome for you.
