Both insurances (Federal BCBS and MassHealth) have approved me and my surgery is scheduled for May 21! Now I am freaking out! An absolute bundle of nerves. I still need to tell people (the only person who knows is my boyfriend)! I need to tell my family but don't know when. Friday is my sister's graduation and Sunday is Mother's Day. I don't want to steal anyone's deserved attention. Do I tell them now or wait until next week? Help!!!

Congrats! Go with your gut....you'll know when it's right to tell.

Where are u having surgery? How long did it take for your approval? I got my surgery date of May 16 but docs has not even submitted to insurance yet. They say they are not worried it usually takes a few days. They submit tomorrow my surgery will be at Brigham and Woman's Faulkner Boston.

Yay!!! Congrats!! I'd suggest to wait until Monday!!!

Yayyyy! Who are your surgeon? ??? How was your experience? ???

My information was submitted to insurance on 4/30 and approved 5/3 (BCBS) and 5/6 (MassHealth). My surgery is scheduled for 5/21 at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Yikes!!!
