Not the day - but the year long struggle ! It took me a year to get approve - I am so glad the fight is over and the weight lose will begin!

It took me over 4 yrs fighting w/insurance company and they say that wls is covered, switched to BCBS and my first consultation for that insurance was Dec. 23, 2008, I was approved in 1 week, my surgery is 3-17-09, the wait for surgery is only because I work for school and doing it during our spring break, not enough sick days left to do before then!

So the polls are in....LUCKY LOSERS won by ONE point! I still like March Melters better but I think we should go with the majority.
