It was 2 business days for approval. They submitted it on Thursday and I was approved yesterday. :D

Im in the Triwest region as well. I have to see my pcm tomarrow for the nutrionist referreral and letter of necessity then it will be submitted. The surgeon says it usually takes up to 6 days for approval an i meet their requirements so Im hoping for a quick turn around with a mid June surgery date. Good luck with the surgery.
