I'm so excited. I just received a call from the coordinator at my surgeons office and I'm approved for surgery. I thought I would not be being surgery at all so this has come as a complete shock to me. I actually started crying while on the phone. Now just to hear from scheduling and do my pre op testing. I finally am seeing the light at the end if the tunnel

Awesome! I also got teary when I heard insurance approved. Good luck to you!

Yup....me too. I cried when she said I was approved. It's like OK... I get a do-over.

Congratulations, it will all be worth it.. ... here is to us being LOSERS!!!

That is great news!!!! Congrats!!!

Hello any help would be great as my date is set for July 23rd. I have blue shield and they denied me because they said I was missing a paper. We re faxed it in and they said they can take an additional 5 days. Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone had this happen to them? Will it take the full 5 days at that point? Some say it's quicker but I'm worried.

Same thing happened with my ins. They said they were missing a paper...it took two weeks after that "appeal" (I was irritated but just sat tight).

I am excited for you! Do you have a date yet, or completing any pre-requirements?

No date yet. I'm waiting for the call from the doctors office for that. They said it would be about a week before I got my date. I am scheduled for all of my pre op testing on August 1st. I know there is also a class I have to take also. Now it's another waiting game.

Awesome! I wish you a smooth t rd addition into the next steps
