Approved by insurance for LBL
It took 4 months but BCBS-IL approved me. It was a long and frustrating battle but they are covering me at 100%! I think I may have been a squeaky wheel. The dr and I both sent pics in 4 times that were 'lost' or never received even though they had USPS delivery confirmation ... So I finally took pics again and sent overnight via fed ex and viola 48 hrs later approved! I do not have a date yet bc docs office was closed later part of last week due to DNC and President and family were staying near his office so roads were closed. I am so nervous and excited.
Bottom line is don't give up with your insurance ask a lot of questions from their customer advocates and get names.
Good luck everyone and have a great week!

I had a PM asking me why I am having plastics so far away from goal. I have very bad rashes underneath my skin. The docs feel my body has stalled bc. Y skin isn't healing and all my healing energy is going to the rashes. It is also extremely painful to exercise b/c of the rashes. Just wanted to share.
I also have a date! November 8, 2012 :)
Thanks everyone!

I had my first TT before I reached my final goal, due to chronic back pain. I knew at that time, that my risk of having complications was much higher because my BMI was greater than 35. I also knew that if I wanted a beautiful result, I would need a revision once I got to goal. Sometimes, we have to do it for reasons other than aesthetics. Most do not understand that, but I do. As long as you understand that you have to really be careful with your incisions post op and really rest to avoid, openings and infections, I think you will be fine. My surgeon is excellent. I had no complications with my TT.
