I just got off the phone with my surgery center to verify they have recieved all of the test I have been taking. The receptionist confirmed and said it would take 7 to 10 days to get insurance approval..... she then asked if I have a preference of surgery date for December. I choose December 2nd !!! Please cross your fingers that everything goes as quickly as she says and I could possibly get the surgery done early December.....I know i will have both my fingers and toes crossed and if i could i would also cross my legs :)

Stay on top of the situation if you don't hear back in the alloted time.

And congratulations!

Here's hoping all goes well, and on Dec. 2nd you start your new life.
Congrats and good luck.

How exciting....just in time to have it, recover and be feeling pretty good by the start of the new year.

I got notified just before Easter. Ended up having it the week after, as we had company and it worked out fine too. Whenever it happens, it'll be exciting.
