arenea 61 Posted January 29, 2016 Super excited that I just got approved, surgery is Monday 2/1 Wow! That was a pretty close approval to your surgery! When did they submit the paperwork? Good luck!!! They submitted it 1/21 and I called the last few days and they kept saying it's pending. Well this morning I called and asked for the reviewing department and I spoke with an individual and explained to him that I'm due to have surgery on 2/1 and he told me he was going to expedite it. Stated that I should hear something by the end of day today. Well I heard back within 4 hours. The wait is finally over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
