My papers et all were submitted to the insurance co. for approval last week. Now the wait begins. It's making me so nervous! I hope and pray my surgery gets approved!

Be patient.... I've fought with our insurance for 10 months before I was approved. Hubby is still waiting!

If they turn you down, don't accept that as the final answer. Some people have no problem and get approved the first submitting. It'll all work out in the end. Before you know it, you'll be realizing you are 3 weeks out!

G'luck,
Peggy

Ahhhh, I am in the same spot. Finished my six months of diet and exercise. Waiting for a reply from my notoriously difficult insurance. But I am willing to keep on going no matter what they say I have to do to get approved. Good luck and I'll be hoping they approve us both the first time.
