After some confusion and the wrong fax number, all of my clinicals/information was submitted to insurance on Monday. I just got off the phone with UMR (I have UMR/UHC) and I was approved! I should be getting my date early next week from my surgeon.

I'm SO excited.

I have UMR and once they received everything they needed their approval was very fast. Just days. I was sleeves on 4/20 and have felt better every day but today was a major turning point for me. Good luck to you both!

@@akaESKIMOkiss You're feeling a lot better today? I'm excited for you!

On Friday, UMR said they should have faxed an approval letter to my surgeon. Spoke with my surgeon's office this morning, and they NEED a mailed letter - so, i'm waiting to receive it or them to receive it. I'm hoping that my surgery date isn't months from now or anything.

Mine got me in very quickly after they received notification - as a matter of fact, they could have gotten me in the very next week but left me no time to prepare to leave work.

How's your pain? Any specific pointers?

[akaESKIMOkiss 11]

The pain was not as bad as I thought it would be. I stayed overnight after surgery and was given morphine every 2 hrs. I switched over to hydrocodone before leaving the hospital and my pain level got better every day. I stopped the pain meds altogether 4 days out. I do still have soreness but the pain went to discomfort to soreness very quickly. You'll be fine!
