One appt. left.....

Well, I've had my thyroid levels checked, gall bladder ultrasound done....yep, I have stones, sleep study done and now I have my psych. appt on the 24th. This is really coming together!!!! Now I'm worried....what if I'm not approved?!??!!  I have BCBS...are they bad about denials??
Anywho...now to keep from eating ALL of my daughter's Easter kisses.....heh, I still love chocolate!!!

It sounds like everything is coming together for you. Sorry I'm no help with the BCBS. From what I recall they go by the centers of excellence - I'm sure someone on here will chime in with more details. What doc & hospital are you using?

I too loved chocolate - but after surgery it seemed like all the SF puddings and protein shakes were chocolate and that has pretty much done me in for a while. never thought I'd see the day that I turned down chocolate - but hey - it happens.

Let us know if there's anything we can help you do to prepare for this incredible journey.

I'm using Village Surgical Associates/Dr. Davidson...Cape Fear Valley Hospital.

Thanks for the offer of help! I'm sure I'll have tons of questions!

i have BCBS and went thru a center of excellence ( Southern Surgical in Greenville).. once you go thru the testing and pass you automatically qualify... as long as you meet the basic criteria... which if you dont they wouldnt put u thru all the tests.. lol

i eat chocolate but not as much.. you will see LOL

one thing i havent missed are sodas.. not at all

I'm using a center of excellence....so we'll see!!!
I'm hoping I don't miss the sodas....tried to cut out the reg. sodas but still drink diet....trying to slowly wean myself off of them completely!!!
