my third try for approval is being faxed as i type this...my case manager at BCBS will get it at 7am tomorrow, and she'll call me by 3:30pm tomorrow with their decision!!! i think we covered our bases this time and they have NO reason to deny me, but i need to remain calm!!!
so....maybe tomorrow i'll have a date!!! i can't help but get my hopes up! i started on this journey 7 months ago----it's about time they give in!!!
wish me luck!!!

Try to remain calm, i know it is easier said than done. It about drives you crazy. But at least you will know tomororw.

All fingers and toes are crossed for you.. Don't they say 3rd time is a charm, you have to be approved this time.

Not to burst your bubble - but it took me almost 3 more months after my approval from BCBS before I had a date. In all, it took 10 months from the beginning of my journey.

So, don't be too disappointed if it takes several more days to get approval and then even longer to get a date. But you know, we can always HOPE! Good Luck!

don't get me wrong---i'm not expecting surgery this month...i talk to the bariatric clinic on a daily basis (i'm their #1 stalker) and she told me today that if i get approved tomorrow my surgery will be mid july. believe me---i can handle to wait till july! i know things don't happen overnight-- i've come to learn patience through this whole thing!

I'm crossing everything I can!

I do hope they give approval this time. You would think the third time is the charm!

well they denied me again today. it seems that BCBS is more than happy to give me the opportunity for this, but my clinic keeps sending them incomplete paperwork!!! i'm ready to bawl!!! so...of course i get to wait another week again...i'm so sad and sick of all this BS...
i'll get over it---and get excited all over again monday! what else can i do?
