finished my 6 months insurance requirement today

Now to see how long it will take to get a surgery date and really get this journey on its way! I hope I'm going to be able to do this in March. I will say the 6 months went by fairly quickly, all things considered. It's probably good to have a waiting period to become more informed about the entire procedure.

that is great! I am so jealous - still 3 months of preop to go! Although you're right, the waiting period is a great opportunity to learn everything you can. Good luck, hope you're date comes quick.

Congratulations! I just had my 2nd (of 6) appointments Monday and have my 1st actual appointment with the surgeon Friday. On the one hand I'm so eager to get this going, on the other hand, I agree that the wait has given me time to prepare. Waiting for approval will hinge mainly on your insurance but if your surgeon's office has good insurance staff it will definitely help. Talk to them to make sure everything is in order. Depending on your surgeon's patient load, March might very well work for you! Keep us posted and again, congrats & good luck!
