I GOT APPROVED!

OMG!!!!! I just got the call from fidelis! This is sooooooo surreal to me! I seriously did NOT think I would get approved. It took me less than ONE month to complete all the requirements before my surgeons office would submit the paperwork, and I've only had this insurance since NOvember 1st. I thought for sure they would deny me and request more time or more health records, BUT NOPE!!!!!!!

I can't even believe this!!!!!!

    I luckily didn't need to do any supervised dieting.

    I thought it was 11/25. But apparently that was just a dummy date or the purpose of paperwork. I'm waiting on a call back from the scheduler now
