Tina, The waiting game is the roughest thing about the whole surgery. We've all been there and had all the same fears but just look at us now, we wouldn't go back to the old days of being miserable for millions of dollars and would have it again in a second. This surgery is absolutely the best gift we can give ourselves. Just sit back and enjoy the wait and then on to a heathier and skinnier life. Take care.

Sweetie, we've all been through the waiting game - be it for money or insurance approval - but once you get that approval... hang on tight because it's a wild ride! The emotional and psychological excitement will have you bouncing off the walls (although, that will be easier to do once you're a few months post-op) Hee Hee. Anyway, here's wishing you get your response soon and get a date even faster! Best wishes and (((hugs))).

TINA... Hang in there.. I have Blue Shield access Plus HMO. They approved me after the first submittal. Sonia is very thorough. Blue Shield actually provides a detailed list of items and criteria needed before you even submit your paperwork. It is almost foolproof... Dr. Coirin did my surgery too, on 4-21-03.. as of today I am down 46 pounds.. and feeling real good... I will pray for a smooth road ahead for you.. You will do fine, just be patient..It is worth the wait!! Now I must update my page.. after I mow the lawn.. Take care and good luck to you!!

Good luck to you. I know it is very nerve racking waiting on approval. Be patient, your time will come. I wish you much success on the rest of your journey and be sure to let us know when you get a date.
