Congratulations!!!!! Good luck to you on your journey!!

To those of you on a 6 month wait, have you asked to see if your insurance offers a Fast Track program? I have Aetna and I too was told it was a 6 month wait. But because we had already met our deductibles I insisted I had to have my surgery before January. They got me approved for the Fast Track which is 90 days. It's a much more fast paced program, you have to cram everything you would have done in 6 months into 3, but I've managed to get it done. I have my last appointment on Nov 26 then I'll get my surgery date for December.

Just something you all might want to check into. :):D

Love this fast track from approval to surgery. My last 6 month meeting is Dec 4. I hope I can get my surgery before the end of Decenber for tax purposes. Wish my luck. Fingers crossed! Pray! Thanks.
