Default Congrats!!

What an awsome feeling to be approved and have your date so close. I read your post and saw that you have BCBS, and that you were denied. I am new here and I too have BCBS. I was wondering why you had been denied? I just wanna know everything I can. I have done all my work up except for my abdominal ultrasound that is Friday, everything else has been good. I go back to Dr. Callery's office on July 11th. From there it is off to the insurance to wait for approval. Any and all advice/opinions is appreciated. Thanks and congratulations again!

Thank you all!!!!

jeanie congrats for your pregnacy, your blessed with a little girl. best wishes

toneystark04- your so lucky and how fast they gave you the surgery date.

operalover &KRISTY - I think i started my journey in nov or dec. Considering my bmi was high I didnt expect to have to have a 6 month diet. I did a 3mnth diet and had my paperwork submitted. I was denied, had to finish my 6 mnth diet. The paperwrk was submitted and I had a response 1 week later. The first time took close to 4 weeks before I heard anything back.

toony, elifar77 and julia, Im so cant wait to start my new life and be such a BIG LOOOOSSERRR!!!!
