All of my paperwork was submitted Friday to United. Surgery will hopefully be end of August early September. All depends how long I have to play the waiting game with insurance. I am really nervous and excited to finally start this new adventure. It has been a long journey and I wish I wouldn't have waited this long.

I'm with united too, and just waiting to hear back from them.. Doctor office said 5-7 days and that was last Thursday.. I'm anxious to get finished and onto a better life.

I called United for an update today and told them that I would like a decision sooner than later because my mom is going to fly out here to help with the kids. The lady was super nice and said she would attach a note to my claim and put it in high priority. She said they should have an answer within 24-72 hours. Mindy, maybe our surgery dates will be close. It would be nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the same changes at the same time.

That would be great.. I'm hoping soon. I have 3 teenagers starting high school at the end of the month, and my husband needs to schedule time off work.. Are you on the Facebook page for August dates..
