I got home from the hospital yesterday. I am so surprised how good I feel right now. I never would have thought two days ago that I would feel this good. Its kind of crazy. I am so happy right now. I'm not mourning food as much as I thought I would but. I hope everyone else's march date goes just as well.

Hi Nancy, I have BCBS of Delaware, PPO plan and with this you only need six months of documentation. You should call your plan and request a copy of their requirements, I believe each plan is differant eventhough they are all BCBS. But they would be able to tell you.
