I'M APPROVED!!! :)

Hey Y'all,

I received my letter from BCBS that I am approved for Surgery!!!  Can you see my happy dance?  Well, you may not be able to see it, but I can guarantee that our town can feel it!!  Ha Ha.  I can't believe how fast my Insurance approved it!  They received the request on Wednesday, September 30th & I received my approval letter today, Monday, October 5th!!  That means they approved it in only 1-2 days in order to generate the letter & it be delivered to me!!! 

I am sooo happy!!  I am walking on cloud nine!  I am sorry, I am going on & on about this, but I just can't help it! :)  Now I am waiting (on pins & needles I might add) for the call from the Surgery Coordinator to set my date!  This means that I will/should be banded in approximately 5 1/2-6 1/2 wks.  I have to go on a 4 wk diet prior to surgery, & we are going on vacation at the end of this week, so I don't want to begin my diet until we return!!   

OMG!  I just realized that this means I won't be able to eat on Thanksgiving!  Or, if I am lucky, I will be in my mushy phase, which means I can eat some mashed potatoes at least.  But at least I will be able to eat on Christmas!!!  Soon, I will be reporting on my Surgery & band life like everyone else!  Then I won't just be a blog stalker!

Everyone have a great day!! 
Aloha :)

Oh, I hope so Robyn! I was told that BCBS responded quickly, but they had to approve it the day after receiving the request to have my letter in the mail that quick!! Ha Ha, I guess they really want me to lose weight! =:)
