I'm Approved!

That was quick.  I checked the BCBSKC web site this morning and I have been approved for surgery.  It took only 3 days.  Next step is see the surgeon (Dr. Hitch****) and finish up a couple of pre-hospital items and I am ready to go.  With any luck I will see him in the next week and get my surgical date.  I'm pumped!

Oh I'm sooo happy for you!!!!  You will love Dr. Hitch****he and Dr. Hoehn are both just fabulous, as was the entire care team.  Are you having RNY or Lapband? 

Hi! I was initially approved for a LapBand but I decided to wait and think about it.  After doing a lot of research and seeing how well my daughter did with RNY, I decided to go that route.

I wish you the best, and hoping you get a surgery date soon!

I wish you the best toooo.  Let us know when you get your date.
