My package was submitted to my insurance last week. A hospital authorization popped up on my insurance record dated 1/18. Not sure what that means, but I'm just patiently waiting for my insurance decision, whether an approval or denial. I'm the most impatient person so the wait is killing me.

I figure, if approved, I'll probably be scheduled for mid to late March. I really can't believe how quickly the last 6 months have gone, but these last few weeks are dragging by. My final appointment was last Monday but seems like last year.

This site is a great source of information. I can't tell you how much of a help it has been through this journey. [emoji3]

Good Luck! Crossing fingers for you:)

Keep us updated, I may end up your surgery twin because I will probably,be a March also.

Kat, have you been submitted to insurance yet?

Hoping you come get your approval

I think my surgeon's office is in the process. I checked last Friday and they said they were and would call me. I hope I hear before the end of the month cause they routinely schedule out about 6 weeks.That should make it early to Mid March, but I wish they would have a cancellation and work me in sooner. I am getting very impatient, want,to remind them I'm not getting any younger.

I keep checking my insurance account multiple times a day to see if there's any indication of the outcome. I'm a little anxious I guess you could say.

My information was sent to my insurance company on Tuesday, January 23rd. I was told it would take 2-10 business days to get an answer. My doctor's office said they would like to try to schedule me at the end of February or latest mid March. How exciting!!! I too am getting a little impatient. I've started this whole process 8 months ago. I'm now 10 pounds less than what they required me to be at. I'm scared of gaining it back.
