Great news!

I had my inital appointment with the surgeon yesterday. The other day, the program coordinator gave me an estimate of the 1st of may for my surgery date. Today, she said that the insurance company is saying there's no longer a 3 month waiting period! She said sometimes they lie so we will have to see once we submit my packet. Have any of you come across this? My surgeon said I need to lose 17 lbs before surgery. That should take me 2 months and hopefully that will be as long as I have to wait.

Yay!

I hope so! They said that if things go as planned, I will be their first patient to not have to go through the 3 month wait period!
