Waiting!

Hey guys, I'm waiting on my approval from the insurance! They submitted everything to UHC on 6/28. I called today and they said they had received every thing and it was in a pending status. It has to go through a medical review team and then a medical director for approval! I'm so anxious to get this approved and to get a date! Please keep me in your thoughts! I'm so ready to start the journey and be on the loser's bench with everyone! Hugs to every one on this journey! :)

I always feel that people from New Orleans and Houston have a lot in common! Sleeveme, looks like we will be waiting buddies together! I hope we hear something this week. I agree the waiting is Miserable! Ladyhouston, keep us informed about your surgery date. Hopefully, we'll all be sleeved very soon!
