After bugging BCBS of IL and TeamCare, I was approved. My dr's office submitted everything last week on 4/3/18 and I was approved today! I am so overjoyed. Cannot wait to talk to my Dr's office and get this surgery scheduled. My son graduates from college on 5/12 so I'm going to wait until after his graduation to have it done. I cannot wait. I'm so thrilled!

Literally feels like there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hooray!

Congratulations!

Where is he graduating from and what was his major? He is going to be so proud of his newly renovated and remodeled mommy this summer. Go to his graduation, get your surgery and then rock this world![emoji289]

Graduating from University of South Carolina. Broadcast Journalism Major. That's him in the center of the picture on my profile. He plays football for the Gamecocks. I can't stop grinning. LOL... I cannot wait to not have to be on insulin and hbp meds and these swollen legs.

Know the Gamecocks well, I was an only child. In addition to being Mama's Little Princess I had to be Daddy's little bud. Therefore i,know more than the average bear to quote Yogi. Somebody said to late hubby It must be nice to a wife who's so into,sports. He said not really, she times everything for half time, throws it on TV trays and says Eat quick,I don't want to miss the game either. MACPOWER--who's having sleeve surgery today played for Nebraska back in the early 2000s. NOT sure what position. You will feel so much better after surgery and I will too![emoji13][emoji351][emoji13]
