Pixie Dust 526 Posted March 19, 2013 Congratulations to you! May I ask, what does it mean to be "approved by your surgeon?" Does it mean that your insurance approved your surgery or you've jumped thru all the hoops they expected you to, before surgery? Sorry to sound ignorant, just wondering? In the meantime, I'm very happy for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexnurse 26 Posted March 19, 2013 It means my surgeon got the approval from the insurance company.... My grandma always said there is no such thing as a stupid question.. If you don't ask you don't find out the answer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't ask you don't find out the answer... Gotcha! Thank you! (Thank your grandma for me too!) Okay, so some insurances need to have approvals then...I didn't know that since my insurance has the WLS as a covered benefit. Well then I'm jumping up & down (NO IT'S NOT AN EARTHQUAKE) for joy for you!!! Good luck in the coming events!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
