Wow really! Well I can't Say for sure If we'll be banded in Febuary. We have been through the process with another doctor so Im basing the process after what we already went through at USC. Orientation, appt. w/ doctor, send authorization to Ins., Schedule surgery, meet dietition, wait for surgery date. The process took just over a month. Didn't have to journal anything. So it's depressing to know that it was such a long process for you to go through since we have the same doctor. Ours will be paid via Health Insurance 80/20 share on PPO. It took just over a week to get our last authorization. My fiance is in the medical field and says authorization can be soley held up due to the experience of the person writing the authorization. He turned in his own authorization to the doctor last time. So I don't know for sure if that helped. I sure hope we don't have such a long process. Boowhoo!

Yes let stay in touch though especially since we are so close!
