Im afaid to start getting excited yet, because you never know. While waiting I lost about 25 lbs then gained about 10 of it back while quitting smoking. Im nervous but still hopeful

Why is your wait so long? Have you called the insurance company to see if they have all of the information that they need? Some where on here I read that the surgens office can cause delays by not sending in all of the required information. Good luck and remember you can always call and see where your referal is at with the insurance.

I called to ask what the hold up was or if they needed anything from me. I was told my office never put the billing code or attached some of the clinical documents. So I had to call the office who told me the insurance company lost them, as if this journey isnt hard enough. So for now I guess I keep waiting.
