I have completed all my requirements and the only thing that is keeping the paper work from goign to the insurance company is the letter from my primary. Everytime I speak to her she says "Yes, I will have this done and faxed ASAP"...it has been 2 months. The good news is that if i get approved, my doctor has available dates in october and in november.

Its a little frustrating but it is also giving me more time to work on my pre-op diet and get used to eating healthy.

ok, i am done venting

I'm with you. I am 7 days from surgery and the insurance company needed one more thing. I'm told it looks good as they needed only one more thing, but a positive boost would be great in this 2nd week pre op. The anxiety is horrible waiting for approval. I think this pre op diet is not all that bad, but with all this waiting it makes me want to eat. I guess that is life and a first lesson in not eating my way through something. Take care

Congratulations to both of you!!!
