Obsessively checking online to see if I've been approved

My surgeon's office submitted for approval yesterday. All is done, so it shouldn't take long, but I'm anxious because if I don't have surgery in early October, I'll have to wait until late November because of schedule conflicts. So, I just keep checking online, hoping status changes from "pending" to "approved".

    It shouldn't take long, but one thing that I remember someone telling me when I was at this point was, DON'T RUSH IT...when it's meant to happen, IT WILL and you'll be ecstatic!!!! It will be approved when you least expect it and tears of joy will become endless!! Best of luck on your journey!! -Vanessa ????

    Thank you ladies. Sigh I'm just impatient now. Little bumps in the road has happened during this process so I'm anxious. I've been at it since December of 2014! I'm going to call today.

    Nope. The website still says "pending further review."
