I had my last weigh in this morning and got copies of what I thought were the last 4 missing pieces needed for insurance approval. I scanned and emailed them to my patient advocate and she called and said she is still missing one of my monthly weigh in reports and will need that before they can submit to insurance.

I have left a message for the doctor's office to send that one sheet of paper to my surgeon ASAP so hopefully that will get done today. My patient advocate said that she would go ahead and get the surgeon to review everything else so that as soon as they get that missing piece they can submit to insurance.

I am so close to this hoop jumping being over that I just want it to be over with and get my approval and surgery date!

She did say they will submit in the next day or so and that is should take about a week for approval. Hopefully it will all be over with before I know it!

Update: I just found my copy of that one missing paper and have just scanned it and sent it to the patient advocate! Fingers crossed I get submitted today!
