Oh MAN!! I was SOOO SCARED, and NERVOUS...that I would not be approved, since the rumor on the street is that BC/BS is not covering WLS as of the first of 2005! My paperwork was submitted on October 1st, and I called first thing this morning for about the fourth time to discover I have been APPROVED! I couldn't help but to start crying, right then and there. That poor girl that I was speaking with probably didn't know WHAT to think! Bless her heart! Now it is a matter of waiting to hear about a surgery date, and needless to say, I am wired with a thousand emotions...mostly I am just petrified!

Thanks so much, Laura, Marrilee, and Ginger! Ginger, that's really a bummer! Are you going to be able to appeal? I surely hope so, and that there is still a chance you can do this. I will be praying for you! Pat

I am so sorry you weren't approved Ginger. I think that stinks. But like you said, maybe it wasn't meant to be yet. If you need anything just let us know. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs, Debra

Unfortunatly appealing will do no good since I have an individual policy. I figure Im gonna wait till after the 1st of the year and hopefully between saving and uncle sam I will be able to have it done. Thanks for the prayers.... Hopefully something will happen.. Im sure it will if its meant to be! WHo knows I may win the lottery!! LOL Ginger
