Things are going smoothly

Hello everyone, I just wanted to keep everyone updated and let you know what's going on.. First I talked to someone else at BCBS and I'm still very thrilled that IF I get approved it's 100% covered and that's a blessing in itself as you all know.. I however changed over to the RNY instead of LapBand for so many different reasons.. Tom. I will complete the TESTING part of my Nut exam and I'm done with that.. Completed the stuff with the nutristionst(sp?) and that has already been sent in..  And once i'm done with the test they will fax my stuff over monday..  Tomorrow I also have my EKG and Chest x-ray. All that's left is my CBC and TSH..and off to the insurance everything goes.. Sleep study came back.. no apena for me... and if i'm lucky I probably can get my blood work done tom. as well she said.. so I'm hoping and then I will be completed.. Dr. Harris informed me that I wouldn't have any pre-surgery weight to lose if I stick to the RNY..because if I kept the Lap Band that I would have to get my BMI under 50 for BCBS to cover it.. so keep me in your prayers please.. blessings to all

You are in my prayers, girl. Good luck with the rest of your tests. Mare

Great to hear that you don't suffer from sleep apnea. I look forward to hearing of your continues successes as you move toward a healthier you.

All the best,

 I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have anymore test to do.. I completed my pschy. evaluation today and I did my ekg and chest x-ray as well as my cbc-tsh and h. pylori blood work.. I'M FINSISHED TESTING!!! now I have to wait 2 weeks so they can send everything over to Dr. Harris and I get my 2nd appointment and everything gets sent off to BCBS..to await an approval.. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now pray I get approved very quickly. thank you

Best Wishes to you!  Find something to keep yourself busy because the next 2 weeks will seem like they're crawling by. Be patient and your news will be here before you know it....I know, easier said than done!
