YEE HA - GOT MY VERBAL OK TODAY!!!

[Guest guest]

Well folks - the verdict is in and after what seems like the longest week of my

life (OK, it was 4-5 working days but it seemed like FOREVER) . . . BC/BS of IL

has given me a VERBAL OK. The letter is supposed to be faxed by tomorrow but

after medical review MGB is covered!!

My PCP is back from medical leave next week and I've scheduled to see him

Thursday, but I don't expect a problem as we actually discussed it a year or so

ago.

So, as soon as I can set a date I'm down there moving to the " other " side.

This has been a LONG TIME coming. I first investigated WLS more than 15 years

ago but as late as a year ago was still not willing to go for the slice 'em and

dice 'em options. THANKS GOD for Dr. R and his innovation.

Appreciate all the support. We're all gonna get there . . .
