Now the waiting game....

I finally made it to the day that I can have the Insurance Cordinator submit my paper work, I now see what everyone was talking about when they said your anxiety was high while waiting on a yes or no. I am very hopeful that I will get an approval but theres that little thought that keeps saying nope not you. I just keep praying about it and keeping my hopes that I will get good news.

Thank you for posting. All that I can say is that I totally relate. It seems that this whole three month program is a waiting game. Waiting for this one to approve you, waiting for that one to approve you. We must really want this badly to be jumping through all these hoops. Congratulations.

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!

Thank You I see you have a surgery date coming up....good luck to you too

how did you get over the nervous feeling?

Congrats and good luck! I had my final medical clearance and insurance coordinator submitted for me this past week as well. I am freaking out. Worried if I don't get approved I'll sabotage myself and emotional eat to kingdom come. I am hoping for a positive outcome and the soonest surgery date possible lol. I started this process in March but since I live in a small state the appointments are always filled and most doctors have a 30 day waiting time for appointments.

Here's to hoping we both get good news soon!

How did I get over the nervous feeling? I didn't. I have a bit of free-floating anxiety each day. I mark the days on my calendar. I just do anything to keep busy and keep with my program so that they will have no excuse to extend my date or not to do the surgery. This thing is always on my mind. Ugh :blink:

Good luck to us all.

has anyone heard anything yet?

I'm still here. Went to the mandatory support group meeting tonight.

I'm feeling more positive that this is actually going to happen. But, then I'm afraid to believe that this is going to happen for fear that I will be disappointed if they don't approve me.

For the most part, though, I decided to go more w the positive feelings.

Prayers for us all.
