I'm not sure if it's too good to be true or if it's really happening!! I have my consultation with my surgeon next week. The woman I scheduled it with took my insurance info and said she'd call me if there were any problems. I hadn't heard from her but my mind wouldn't get off the topic, so I decided to call the insurance company (Horizon BCBS-NJ pos) myself just to know what direction I'd be heading in. I was told they will pay for everything in full - 100%!!!!!!! I'm in tears!!! I'm not telling too many people about my surgery yet (only told my dad, aunt, and 2 best friends), and I wanted to share the news with people who will really understand how much this means. Now I really see why these forums are so great!! I CAN'T WAIT for this journey to lead me to a new life!!!
