Janet, Relax!!! Relax!!! What I actually meant was that I applied for

insurance coverage with BCBS of NC and they declined to insure me. The

reason I attempted this is because I had read that they had covered this

surgery for other patients and thought I would give it a shot. Hopefully you

will be one of those people that they approve for the surgery. Good luck!!!

Debbie
