Hello all, I am a avid watcher of lapbandtalk.com - I read it everyday.
After months (I literally mean months) of fighting with BCBS of IL - your diet history wasn't detailed enough and yada yada yada. I got approved today!!!
I can hardly believe it! I have been working toward this for about 5 years - different insurances with my jobs and finally a company that would pay for it. I must have been really worked up about it more than I realized because when she said it was approved I started crying. "Tears of Joy" of course.
Just had to let it out - now getting through the next phase of being scared - am I making the right decision.
Thanks for listening.
Susan
