This is the worst. Just sitting here waiting and praying I get approved. I turned in all my stuff today, and the surgical coordinator told me she'll get it over to United Healthcare today. I already have a surgery date of July 1st, and I'm nervous there won't be enough time to get it approved. The coordinator told me that United takes a while to approve, and if it gets close to my surgery date and still no word then they have this "rapid" response team that'll look it over quickly for me. I wish it only took a couple of days, now I have over 3 weeks to think about it and obsess over it! I fulfilled every requirement they asked of me (a whole years worth of stuff), and I'm SO ready to take this next step soon! Thanks for listening to me vent!

Aetna told me 15 days after they received my package. They took 14 days 5 hours but who was counting? I was really worried but they approved my surgery. Hang in ther.

I think that's what's going to be the worst part of pre-op for me---waiting for the approval. I still have two visits and my psych. But hang in there! We're all pulling for you!
