  1. So sorry! After bring told on my 15th day that the nurse passed it on to a doctor for determination, I called back Friday morning and I GOT APPROVED!!! Such a crazy rollercoaster. I have one week left!!
  2.    sello reacted to a post in a topic: Approval Request Submitted!!!!
  3. Just to keep some hope alive....I waited 15 days just for my insurance to tell me the nurse had questions so she passed it on to a doctor to ,are the determination. I was devastated. Until the next morning, that is. I called at 9am and found out I was approved!!! So although I’ve read so many entries stating that their approval was quick, even if yours is not, DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE. Stay positive and try to be patient. Got my approval 13 days before my surgery date. Good luck to everyone who’s waiting
  4. My process went so quick, that my surgeons assistant scheduled me out when she scheduled my final appointment. You should walk out of there with a date. Hold tight. You’re so close!!!!!
  5. I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks now and I AM DYING!!!! Should have an answer by friday as well! My anxiety is on 1000 since my surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow. Any prayers or crossed fingers are greatly appreciated!! Good luck to you!!!!
  6. Hey there! I had my final consultation last week before they submitted all of my paperwork to my insurance. Do not worry! They will hopefully give you some materials about prepping for surgery (liquid diet guidelines, what soap to use, etc), as well as answer any last minute questions you have. Listen, this last waiting period is a doozy for those of us with anxiety but you are so close!!! It will be here before you know it!
  7. Hi Jaz, I’m here with you, girl!! Surgery scheduled for April 19th. We got this!!!
