Bummed Out Day Yesterday

I'm still waiting, my tentative date is January 16th. I called the insurance on the 19th and was told I was approved. The surgeon hadn't received the authorization yet so I called again yesterday and was told she made an error and that my request for authorization was submitted for review on the 19th. I had a really bummed out day yesterday.

So now I have to wait a while longer to find out.

I was so excited that I was approved then she burst my bubble... I suppose it could be worse and be told I was denied... Keeping positive thoughts.

I just checked again and they haven't approved or denied so I'm going to continue the positive thoughts. They did however say they would decide today or tomorrow...

I'm with DL on this..the wait and uncertainty suck but fast forward and look back a year from now and all will be worth it. There will come many speed bumps along your journey and the best thing I learned during it all is to always remind myself...This too shall pass!

Good luck! Hope u get your answer soon :)

Thank you DL and ajustice, the worst thing can happen is I have to redo something. I'm feeling positive that it's all going to work out fine. My eye is definitely on the prize. I'm really looking forward to a year from now. Heck even a couple months from now. It's all still exciting, whatever the outcome it'll all be fine.

Hopefully u will hear soon. The hoop jumping and waiting is prob the worst part. Once you get to the post op it's so busy adjusting and making everything work. Gonna be great! Just wait and see!! :)
