Hey Ladies,

I'm not around much. Very busy with school and wrestling with BCBS. I was lurking a lil though.:crying: Anyhow you ladies are the only ones that can appreciate how happy I am. I've finally been approved!!! Everyone in my house is like "Oh that's nice" then go about their business. I can't believe it! I don't have a date yet. I hope I can be banded in October still. My Dr. is on vacation and so is the insurance coordinator. I won't get a date until they return. It's always something ain't it?!?

Congratulations!!!:crying:

Hey Ladies,

I've finally been approved!!! Everyone in my house is like "Oh that's nice" then go about their business. I can't believe it! I don't have a date yet. I hope I can be banded in October still.

Congrats!!!

I'm very happy for you. :crying: I remember how happy I was and how anxious I was too. I called all the people that I told I was having surgery and they kind of responded like your house did but it's all good. Once the weight starts coming off they'll get in the groove of things. I'll pray for your health and weightloss.

Woooooooo Whooo! Congratulations!!! I just got my date too last, and am feeling the same way. I'm nervous, excited and scared, but I know this is the right decision for me. Can't wait to hear about your journey!

Many CONGRATS!!!!!

Congrats! :biggrin:I remember fighting with BCBS, and they can be tough! Continued good luck on your journey!

THANK YOU Ladies, for your enthusiasm and support! :tt1: I'm sooooo excited. I was told today that I may be able to have surgery as soon as 10/16. I have to wait until my dr. returns from vacation for it to be confirmed. I'm trying not to think about it too much. I don't want to be disappointed if that date doesn't work out. Thanks again!

Good Luck to you I have a surgergy date 10/21, I am getting do excitited I will it we sooner.

:tt2:CONGRATS TO YOU!!:tt2:

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL.

I only told my family and maybe two folks at work and I couldn't even let DH know how darned estatic I was (cause he's helping me w/self-pay:blush:). But, when I got the date... I wanted to jump thru the roof of my office! I had to go through that week of liquid diet at work with only one person knowing and I just couldn't concentrate.

Hey all I finally got my date! November 6th. I'm very excited! I don't know how I'm going to work this around school.:biggrin: I definitely don't want to wait until the first of the year. I need to get the show on the road. My birthday is in Jan, and would like to be a few pounds slimmer by then.:thumbup: Thanks again ladies for your support!

Congrats girl! Nov. Will be here before you know it. Keep us posted on your progress!
