@@christo5 Not only did I feel like that I did it ! I bugged them so much they said they weren't allowed to call me with results only send a letter that they actually did call me with my approval! I guess they didn't want to hear my lovely voice anymore!!

Surgery is 11/3. I. Only my liquid diet. I would probably still be waiting for a letter...I'm not a patient person in some respects.

Not sure how to fix that post but *I am on my liquid diet*

i'm in the same place as you are. i was submitted 2 weeks ago, and have been calling every 3 days. still pending. how frustrating to be so close and yet so far!

I can totally relate.... I just want to be on the other side of this journey.

I called my insurance twice. The first the rep said there was no paperwork submitted. I called my case manager right after that call. The second time I called them, I got my approval. I knew before my case manager lol. Shut, I never received that approval letter either lol. I totally feel what you guys are going through.

YES!!! Mine was submitted on 10/3 with a tentative date of tomorrow and still no approval! I'm going crazy and I have called pretty much every day :(

Mine was submitted on 9/24. Then they asked for more records on 10/3 ... which they received on 10/6, but, apparently this restated my 3 to 15 working day clock. Still waiting ... I'm climbing the walls. :-/

I attempted to call my insurance company yesterday, and I wasn't making any progress at all!! On the bright side, I checked the mail and ended up getting my approval letter.

Good luck to those still waiting for a yay or nay!

I got the call an hour ago that I am approved and am going in on Tuesday, 10/28!! Woohoo!!

Waiting is the worst! I hope you all find out soon. Waiting for approval, even though we know we all did everything right and jumped through all the hoops, is nerve racking.

Good Luck!
