You may have to wait longer. Than two weeks. It takes 30 days some ppl get approved before then but if they request more info from the dr or NUT then the 30 days starts all over again every time they request more info. My paperwork has been submitted on 10/27 I still have no decision!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoPeachy28 53 Posted November 23, 2013 The surgeons office called and told me and set up my pre op visit for tomorrow and surgery for the 5th. Do you have to do the pre-op liquid diet! I just found out I got approved for the surgery on the 19th. That's what I'm dreading! Straight liquids for 2 weeks!!! Ugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
