Well I have a date. Monday June 20th. They have just submitted the insurance papers so I'm cautiously optimistic. They tell me they have never had a denial from my type of Blue Cross. I hope I'm not the first. I'm so excited. 33 days and counting.

Hi Chip, It's exciting, isn't it!

My date is June 13th, but I am waiting for approval too. They won't even submit until I go to this meeting tomorrow night. I have blue cross blue shield NJ Plus. They tell me not to worry too!

I guess we should trust the people who do this for a living! I would be devestated if it didn't go through at this point though, I have to admit! I wish you all the best. This is a brave step we are taking, but it will all pay off in the end when we are healthier and happier with the simple things in life!
