YAY!!

I got the call today!BCBS called me today at work and I am Approved for my surgery! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself!  They said I was approved for surgery Dec.28th. I tried to call my doctors office and see what I needed to do but the person I needed to talk to had already left for the day. So I told the girl what BCBS said about being approved for the 28th and she said she didnt have me scheduled for surgery which I thought was wierd. But who cares! I AM APPROVED!!! =) Ill get it all straightened out on Monday!

So happy for you, Mary! It won't be long now. :)
Blessings,
Mary

Thanks Mary! Now Im all nervous! LOL

Whoo HOO congrats and I can guarantee you are in great hands. OWLO is good to their patients!  They have to put a date for teh insurance and then they tweak that once they have the approval and get the tests and such all done. Let usknow and as I am not far from Norman I will try and come see you either before surgery that day or visit you while in the hospital if you like. OWLO sponsers an angel program. And I can say I love watching the ones you go talk to before go through this amazing ride.

Thank you Sarah for responding! I was wondering why insurance gave me a date when the docs office hadnt scheduled it. I actually hope it is on the date that insurance told me. It would be PERFECT timing. Im am a little nervous now. I read the "gone wrong" forum and it kinda freaked me out aittle. Have you had any complications from your surgery? You seem to be doing really well from what Ive read. 2oo lbs in a year! WOW!  Anyway, thanks again for your response! =)

I personally have onl;y had one issue with my surgery and that was low potasium level which was caught quickly as OWLO does blood work on you every time you go to a follow up appointment it gets old but you know he is watching your levels closely. NOW that being siad as you have found out it can go wrong and you do need to be aware of the facts before going in. We have on lady on here who has had several compications mostly hernia related but she would still tell you she would do it again in a heart beat. She is one of my many inspirations around here and helped me through many worries and fears. Theya re normal and we have all been there so please feel free to ask any questions you have.

Hey Mary,

Was that BCBS of OK? Let me know what plan you had.

We have Empire BCBS.  We get it thru my hubbys employer.

YAY! congrats!! I remember the day I got approved! I was doing a happy dance for the rest of the week! let us know what your official date is!
