I never even tried to go through insurance --- I guess it was well worth it for you!!!! I hope you get a date very soon!!! You must be overwhelmed with excitement -- I'm so psyched for you!!! Kristin

That is great I am so happy for you.I wish I could get it done I have a lot of sweating in that area!!!

Congrats !!! I'm doing the happy dance, for you. Karen G

the PS just called again to inform me that i also got approved for a rear lift... he had given me a small one in oct but now he gets to go in and actully do the full rear lift..... CAN THIS DAY GET ANY BETTER I THINK NOT....

I want to know what your ps gave as reasons for "medical necessity". I"M just begining the ps process but would love to have insurance cover some of it. I've already been denied for my eyes & brow b/c I only have 25% field of vision loss, they require 30% loss. The fact that I can't see stop lights and such in my perhiperial vision makes me nervous (and probably a bit dangerous) on the roads but not enough that BCBS will cover the cost of surgery. Guess they would rather pay for a hospital bills if I have a bad car wreck! Sorry for venting! Congrats on your good news! Vickie J.

YIPPEE FOR YOU!!!! Congratulations!! That is fabulous!
