Officially waiting for approval

[Seashelles 23]

I called UHC to confirm if they had received my packet for the surgeon and the lady I talk to told me that they did and it was with the nurse department. She also told me that it look like the office sent in all the required clinical information and that approval only takes a week. I know that waiting is going to wreck my nerves but atleast I know it will not take 30 days like my insurance coordinator was telling me. My insurance plan has the 5 year weight history requirement but it doesnt have to be consecutive, that was the only requirement that is making me nervous since I didnt go to the doctor in 2011. But I am going to trust in the 7 years worth of documentation and try to relax.
