I'm scheduled for 12/16, but not yet approved by insurance. I spoke to the coordinator today, and Wednesday is my drop-dead date to get the pre-op class and appointment w/ surgeon in before Monday. She said she might be able to get me in on 12/23, but I'm still in the same boat. Puts more of a damper on Christmas, but works better for my out of pocket stuff since it's the end of the plan year.

Hi, I am waiting for approval as we speak. The paperwork was submitted to my insurance on 12/06. My insurance says they have 5 days to reply (the latest is Friday). I am so stressed and have so much anxiety I can't eat (imagine that). The suspense is killing me, I hate waiting! Good luck with your approval. Hopefully you hear back soon.

I'm scheduled 12/23 and awaiting approval.

Got my approval today. I am scheduled for January 7th!!!!

Found out yesterday I am approved. Talk about a nail bitter! Today was the last day for them to authorize before Monday's surgery.
