Who Would Have Thought....

I have to say I am surprised by my reaction to getting the call today with my approval and surgery date. The tears just started flowing after getting off the phone. I didn't realize I was so on edge about it. I am so happy and can hardly wait, would have liked an earlier date but my surgeon is going to be gone for the last two weeks of the month. So Feb 13th is my day! I hope the next five weeks just whiz by! Anybody else out there with Feb dates? Time to look into starting a new group...Fab Febs?

Congrats on getting your date, I'm hoping to join the FAB FEB'ers LOL

All of my paperwork was submitted to the insurance company on 12/28 so now it is just a waiting game for me. They said it usually takes 4 weeks for approval, but the dr's office told me to call them daily to check on my status (I guess if they get tired of hearing from you, they will approve you) LOL.

I was hoping to get the surgery at the beginning of Feb, but it looks like it will be towards the middle because of the 10 day pre op diet. Oh well, I am closer than I have ever been and just thankful that I have found this site to talk with others about this process.

I was in shock for a few days when I got my surgery date. Congratulations!

I think I was not so much surprised but expecting it. Probably because I had done so much research on Aetna's policies, and had bombarded them with documentation that it was like, "they BETTER" approve me.... lol. You still have some doubt wondering if there was some little thing you missed. Luckily for me, I got my approval in a few days..
