I ve Got A Date Lottery Winner!

[one-day-soon 26]

I feel like I just won the Texas Lottery, after reading so many post on how hard it is to get approved. I found out today that I am approved and I have a surgery date of July 24th. Which can't come soon enough since I have had some complication from my Lap band. As hard as these past 3 years has been with my band I believe the lessons I've learnt will benefit my new life with the sleeve. Winning the Lottery changes people lives and being sleeved will differently change my life. I have BCBS of TX and hen I called today I was told that my doc office sent the paperwork in on the 5th and it could talk 7-10 business days to get and answer that was at 11:01am and by 3:59pm my doc office was calling me to say I was approved. I was in shock and happy and nervous all at the same time, like a lottery winner. I would have jumped up and down too but I was in the car parked in front of Wal-Mart and have too much port pain. Good Luck to those waiting on approval.

You will find it life changing. I refer to my revision as my chance at a "do over"

Thanks everyone, I've been looking at post for over a month, to the point that my husband has stopped asking me "What are you doing?". Ever post ask been encouraging and I just wanted to encourage someone else too.

Congrats fellow Texan! I'm 4 weeks post op today and it has already been life changing for the better. As I just put my swimsuit on and had to tighten the drawstring as tight as it will go. These trunks didn't even fit when I started my pre op diet. You're going to do great! Get ready for the rewarding part!
