I had my 5 hour appointment today, the surgeon says I am an excellent candidate, no co morbitities, no further tests needed. I have my psych on tues and they submit everything that day. From everything I hear the UHC plan I have approves very fast As soon as they get word, I get my surgery date! It could be as soon as 1 week or 2. I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!

Welcome from Houston. I also have UHC and had my surgery three weeks after the seminar. Hope yours is that soon also and the best to you.:clap2:

Wooooooohooooooooooooooo Cootie!!! Such an exciting time....praying for a QUICK approval!!!!

Congrats, I am happy for you I also have UHC (POS plan) I go in tomorrow for my first consultation and I really hope I am approved~!

Hey congrats... Its a wild ride. I have UHC and was approved in 10 days My dh was approved in 4... So get ready they are quick... I called them 4 days after my paperwork was sent and everyday from then on out, just so they would hurry.... LOL Good luck and keep us posted

Congrats Cootie,

I know you must be on cloud 9. Sometimes I wished I would have had some patience and let BC/BS do they're thing and pay for it instead of my not being able to wait and pay myself. I admire you. You will also be amazed at how fast the week or two goes by and then the day of surgery seems like it lasts for 15 min.

It'll be over before you know it and you will be asking us about fills, I did.

Good luck and congrats on everything going so smoothly. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask or pm me or any of us. I also have lots of pictures before during and after and of the fills themselves.
