Hi Sue, how are you? Congrats on your success. I noticed that you are an RN, so am I. I am currently waiting for my response from bcbs. I am so nervous. I am wondering what the process is for bcbs to make their decisions. Do they go by certain criteria or what? I am just wondering what my chances are for getting approved. My BMI is 40, and I had back surgery last year. I still suffer from excrutiating back pain, knee pain, and joint pain. I have family history of diabetes, heart disease, CA. I am having symptoms of pre- diabetes. I have chronic plantar facsitis. I am only 29. I am so ready to change my life, and get the weight off. Any advice?

Sue! How are you doing? Where have you been?

Your post about the shift in "The ER from Hell" sounded like an episode from ER!!! ***UNREAL!***

Hi Sue. I am glad to hear that your thigh revision went well. Any updates/pics? Having a thigh lift is #1 on my list. I have to be extra careful because my skin scars really bad. But I need to decide if I'd rather have "normal" looking thighs with a dark scar or a puddle of flesh pooling in my seat . . . darn, I know that was TMI. It even disgusted me when I read it aloud. But you know what I mean. Tasha

Sue...I just wanted to say thank you for all your bcbs advice a while back. I was sooooo stressed out. My surgeon's office is putting through an appeal and they should take care of it according to the lady at bcbs. It was a bcbs mistake (like you said) that was not caught by the office. The hospital bill and anestesiologist bill are still processing, but I know they may have to be appealed too. But, that will be the doctors offices thing, they were messed up and I need to not stress out. I have to many work things going on right now to worry. Thank you so much for your support. You are a wonderful asset to this community.

Sue ---- you are an amazing resource here on TT! I always look for your posts and appreciate your advise! Thank you for being here...
