Waiting on Approval

Hi All, I was just informed by the BP COORD I could have up to a 1.5 month wait to find out my surgery date.

I have a 2-4 week wait to hear on approval from Fepblue, and a

1-2 week wait from GTS on a surgery date.

That seems so far away, very far away.. I've been waiting for 9 days total so far..7days business... Not that I'm counting.. hahaha

I've been keeping myself occupied with life and hobbies and I thought I was doing well until my dream last night. . In my dream my Mom performed the surgery and I was awake the whole time. I could feel the breathing tubes slide out of my nose and I'd have to put them back in my nose. I could even smell nitroux oxdie when i took deep breaths. I couldn't feel the pain, but i felt the pressure of my mom cutting into my stomach....It felt so real. OMGness. it was such a crazy dream.

@ my fellow Michiganders, what did you do to keep your mind occupied?

How long did you wait?

So 23 views, no replays. lol

Talked with my insurance my preauthorization was reviewed and their response was mailed out January 30th. So, it was 4-5 days to approve. My preauthorization was sent in 1/26 or 1/27. As of 2/4 GTS hadn't received the letter according to the program coordinator. So guessing by the 16th or the 23rd, I should find out my surgery date.

Last night I had another dream. And this time I got a call from GTS and I needed to do a week of exercise class before my date would be scheduled. lol.

For those interested, I'll keep ya posted.
