and I am ready to meet with my surgeon! I scheduled surgeon, psych, and nutritionist all for April 24th to avoid taking too much time off of work. But now that all the other prerequisites are complete, I'm ready to get the ball rolling now. During my intake I was told that (as long as all tests come back okay) the paperwork should be ready to submit to insurance shortly after meeting with the surgeon. I hate to wish time away (especially since I'm on spring break this week ), but come on April 24th!

Congrats! Make sure after the meeting with the surgeon, you find out how long the wait is to get approved AND schedule surgery date at surgeon's meeting. I made sure was prepared all the way.

Thanks for the tip.
