Starting My Journey....

So I had my first appointment with my surgeon Today! I am so happy because everyone was so nice and very caring. We discussed what my requirements are and procedures that I have to do on my end. The nurse that went over the insurance part told me that She "absolutely loves" my insurance company!! She says they usually give a approval in 2to 3 business days!!!! Yayyyyyyyy! I am so motivated and so ready for this! It's long overdue!
