First time posting!

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 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.
