6 months of visits plus 3 classes which totaled in 9 months, class 4 is 2 weeks before surgery. My surgery is at the end of this month so it'll be one year total.
I completed my last class in February, met with the surgeon March 19th and just got approval from bcbsil the other day. It took numerous calls, my rep had a hard time getting my report over to them. For some reason there were system errors.... But it looks like my surgery will be at the end of this month, mind you i started this process last May! Where I am a year later.
