way to go good luck to you. sarah

Hi Patricia, I know how you feel. "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!" I was approved on 9/22 from BC/BS. I have my pre-op test on 11/3. I can't wait. Good Luck, If you need to talk please e-mail me. Martha

Hugs, Patricia! Congratulations on your approval! You're almost there! Becky

Thank you so much, Debra, Kelle, Deanna, Theresa, Amy, Sarah, Martha, and Becky!! And, thank you again, Laura, Marrilee, and Ginger! WOW! What an outpouring! You guys are just the greatest! It's really amazing how you all do your very best to make each other feel comforted, sharing joys, pains, sorrows, and tears. I can easily see why people become addicted to this board! May each of you be forever blessed! Pat

Hi Patricia, I think the BCBS customer service people must be used to that response from us WLS-ers... That is PRECISELY what I did when they told me I was approved... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Tami

YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! I am so happy for you!!!! Let us know as soon as possible what the date is!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Carol (not your same place friend anymore...but right behind you!!)

Thanks so much, Tami and Carol! Tami, it's so good to know that I am not the only "rubber face!" LOL! Carol...yes, hon..you are indeed right behind me, I just know it! I should know tomorrow when my "date" is, so I will be sure to shout it from the rooftops while I wallow in my multitude of emotions here!
