So my surgeon sent in all of my paper work to insurance on Monday. I just checked with my insurance company and it was approved the same day and they already sent the letter to my home and my doctors office on Monday! I am so excited I am almost giddy. I can't believe approval happened so fast.

    Thanks everyone! I was so excited to be approved and wish that everyone could be approved as quickly. The anxiety of waiting would have killed me! Started my two week preop diet yesterday so we are getting close!
