My paperwork was sent to BCBS on April 27th and I was approved on May 9th...first request with no problems...my surgery is scheduled for June 6th!:clap2:

Exciting and scary!:biggrin1:

I learned so much on this site to get me prepared; thank you all for sharing your information and experience.

I'll keep you updated.

Congratulations! You'll be banded before you know it!

Congrats on your date! I know when I got mine it felt like a big relief to finally be pushing towards a real date!

My surgery is scheduled for May 21st, so we're not that far apart. Woo hoo!

Thank you, I'm excited and scared.

Congrats to you! That's right around the corner, you'll be in bandland before you know it!

Thank you, I'm excited and scared.

I feel exactly the same way. I'm really excited to be making this change in my life and hopeful for some real success. On the other hand, it's pretty scary. I think once I get past the actual surgery and begin workin' the band to it's fullest, I'll be all set.

In other words, the surgery is the scary part for me! heh.
