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]

How excited are you!? I'm super excited for you! Yes - we all will be cheering you on! Your date is right around the corner!

You gals prompted me to call my insurance and I was approved too! Waiting for surgeons office to call with a date. Insurance company told me my date was 2/22 but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. Omg this is really happening!!!

Awww hang in there! You’re so close! Maybe try talking to an administrator on Monday?

So my husband has been approved too, but his authorization letter hasn't been processed yet. So I have to wait for that to schedule mine, since we're having it done together.

I'm so excited for all of us!!

Michigan 3: after the abortive attempts since today was Social Security day decided to go pay bills etc. When i got home there had been a call back,from hospital scheduling. Wouldn't you know they had closed,and won't be back until Monday at 7AM. Now I can screw myself up all,weekend,about what THIS person will say. I might,not,need surgery,if I commit hari kari in the next 3 days.Calgon take me away!

On January 18th my nutritionist says they were just waiting on my psych evaluation then they'd be submitting it to my insurance, I had my evaluation on Jan 16th which went great he said it was the shortest evaluation he'd ever done and it wouldn't take him long to write it up. So hopefully they got it already. I have another nutrition /Trainor apt Feb 8th so hopefully I'll know more. I'm getting anxious.... So close! It consumes my every thought. I think I'll feel more relieved when I get the actual approval.

Star, i know the feeling. Truly.
