I just got approved too, I haven't got my surgery date yet but was told it would be in early Sept. Congratulations and much luck I will be thinking of you.

Congrats!!! Isn't it excited and scarey at the same time?

I also received my approval letter last week and I'm now waiting on a surgery date.

Hopefully, time will pass as quickly as the last 6 months have and we will all be well on our way!

Congrats to everyone on their insurance approvals! I'm sure it won't be long until I'm hearing about all of your successful surgeries :-)!

Congratulations! My doctor and I are getting everything together for my insurance. I have a few appointments with doctor, nutritionist, phys. and a med procedure before we will have everything together. I'm hoping we will have everything ready to send in before the end of the month. I hope I hear something before the end of September. Maybe in a month or so I can post the same message you just posted.

Congratulations!

How long was you're approval process? I am in the beginning stages and would like to know how long it will take. I am going to the orientation on Aug 12th. What are the steps that follow and is it true that insurance companies make you wait 6 months?

Hi Jerzee Girl,

I went to a seminar on 7/14/09. I saw the doctor last week. I'm not sure how long it will take, but we are moving right along with all the appointments I need. Good luck.
