  1. I got approved in 1 week. Doc didn't submit til 25 Sept. Bcbs federal standard....now I'm waiting for date but according to ins company it wont be til Dec 3rd. That's my auth effective date.
  2. I just called the ins company and they told me that my authorization is effective for Dec 3rd. I asked what that meant and she said the doctor has to give them a date the auth is for and they gave dec 3rd. So I guess that when my surgery is??? She says they have one year from the date of auth to actually use it. Dag....Dec???? That's 2 more months. Omg. Glad Im approved but feeling disappointed that it wont be November. FYI...I have BCBS Federal Standard Option. It took 1 week for approval.

  20. Im sure the last supper syndrome will hit me again by the time I get my surgery date. Lol.
  21. I don't think it has hit me yet. Maybe when I get insurance approval and a definite surgery date I will be more focused. Im not worried about surgery either. I've been doing the protein shakes as breakfast and trying to stay away from fast food. My mom found my baby plate and spoon. Im excited to use it again post op. I will eventually start practicing for the real deal. I did join the ymca and start swimming again. Im sure we will get there together...come on November!!!!
  22. Im on track for november too. My last nut apt is sept 13. Yes!!!
