The waiting game

[gotamakeachange 7]

Ok may insurance consultant called today and told me all of my paperwork is in and she is going to submit my information to the nurse for a final review and then submit my information to my insurance. She said the next person I should talk to is the scheduling person to let me know the available dates. I told my insurance consultant my preference is the end of December while my children are on Christmas break. Hopefully this will be the best Christmas gift I have ever given myself :angel_smile:

I had the same issue with my surgeon's office. I finished everything Oct 1 and they did not turn in for approval until 10/19. The insurance company approved it on 10/21. Then they would not let me schedule until they received the approval letter which took less than a week. Once they received the letter, I am scheduled for Dec 1. I know it is frustrating, but it is worth it in the end. Good luck!!

I have my date, December 20, 2010. :teeth_smile: What a wonderful Christmas gift to myself. :angel_smile: I am so excited. The scheduler from my surgeon's office called yesterday and scheduled my date. I am so ready for my new life. It's kind of unbelievable that a year from now I will look and feel like a different person.

Congratulation ! That is great news. I am still waiting although I called and was told by the nurse case managers that they indeed have all the paper work. So I wait some more it has already been 6 months ... still hoping for my date of Nov 29.
