I got a message this AM from my surgeon's office that ins needs more info, which they have available to send ASAP. Ins is also requesting I attend the 3 support groups requested by the psychologist. I thought those could have been pre & post band, but now ins is going along with what he dr says and they must be pre band. :mmph: They have to be groups offered by St Vincent's. The closest one is the 3rd Tues of every month so I'm going tonight. Since I am not going to wait 3 mos to get a surgery date, I am going to travel to Indy, South Bend or Kokomo to attend other groups.

At first, I was really ticked, but realized hey, they are going to approve me if I do this. :dance: Am I wrong in my thinking? Surely they wouldn't ask me to do this only to come back and say no. I feel excited, empowered, and ready to put some miles on the van!!

My wonderful DH is willing to take off work early to allow me to attend the required meetings. It's a team effort when you have kids. I'm so glad I married that man!! :love:

LOOK OUT ~ I'M ALMOST FINISHED JUMPING HOOPS ~

Right there with ya 3loves. Called my ins today and they said they sent word to the surgeon that they need to know what facility would be used. So I think I am on the verge of an approval. :pound: M
