Finally my dreams are coming true~ New

Hey everyone,

My name is Shavona. I finally got the relief I was looking for when finsing out that my insurance covers the lapband procedure. When starting this journey 2 years ago I was trying to go through all the hoops for Cigna. Then right before the final test was complete we found out that we were switching insurance companies. We went to Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and to my surprise they covered the surgery. So after other things like moving going on in my life. Moving from Nebraska to Colorado I made a appointment with Dr. Brown here in Denver. I went in for my appoointment and they take care of everything, there was no making a million appointment to see a dietician and a psychologist. Everything was taking care of in one building. I so my appointments, meet with the Dr. and his assistant and then I get to meet with Amy the insurance lady that takes care of the billing and insurance. After about 5 mintues and her looking at some papers, she ask me when I want to set my appointment for surgery. I was so shocked and had tears of joy.... My surgery date is May 27, 2011. The day could not get here fast enough.
