That's so exciting !! I started researching about the surgery 3 years ago but finally got started on the process last month and have my last pre op appointment on Monday. I'm very excited for it to be the last appointment , and then after that point its waiting for approval which I hope doesn't take long at all !! I'm hoping to have the surgery around December time because i am in school and it happens to be my longest break .. I'm hoping that everything from Monday on out happens pretty quickly !!

Had last pre-op appt on Friday. Now waiting for insurance approval. Scheduled for 10/21. Hope I hear soon!!

Congratulations to all who have been approved and good luck to those still waiting. I had my 2nd consult with my surgeon on Thursday and I asked for a date in December, hopefully the second week. Now, I'm waiting for my pre-op orders from his office and the submittal to insurance.

Thanks! I am still waiting for a surgery date. My doctor is the only one in the area that also takes Medicaid so he is swamped. Im hoping before the new year though!
