Going2lose 9 Posted July 6, 2016 I was submitted for approval today too...a bit nervous as I don't know what qualifies as "enough" failed attempts. Even if I am approved I think my doctor will have me wait a few months. I had a baby 9 months ago and they think everyone should wait a year. I understand the concerns but I also don't want to wait anymore!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladydirc 15 Posted July 8, 2016 I have my last NUT appt Monday and everything else is done so they should be submitting to the insurance company soon after. I started this journey the end of last year and have a surgery date for September 2nd. So nervous about the approval though.
