Insurance called to tell me I was approved!

Has this happened to anyone else? My insurance company called to tell me that my surgery was approved for October 30th! Which is awesome, however I haven't heard from my surgeon yet to even let me know of the surgery date!

Of course now that I have been approved I am starting to freak out thinking about the what if's and being a mom of two young kids. Please calm me down, I'm in my 30's and and pretty healthy just heavy!

Great news congratulations. Enjoy don't feel frustrated! Think of being there for them as healthy person and don't panic.

Such an exciting phone call! Don't get caught in the "what ifs". Hopefully you have done all of your research so you know the things to do. The hard part is making the decision, so that's done. Now, just focus on your future in your new life. You are going to LOVE it!

Yippee! That is exciting! Now call the Dr's office and verify!

Same thing happen to me!! My insurance called a week before doctors office did!! Oh yea congrats!!!!

congrats! Just call the surgeon and let them know you've been approved and ask them if they are aware. Don't worry about the what ifs you're going to be just fine!

Thanks ladies! Hopefully I hear back from my surgeon next week! I know this is the best thing for me. Just nervous because it's actually happening now. I honestly cannot wait to be able to run around with my toddlers and actually keep up with them!

That's great that your insurance called you

Congrats! Don't let the doubts start creeping in now. From my own perspective at 10 weeks out, definitely the best thing ever! Good luck!
