Have to wait 2-3 weeks from insurance approval to surgery consult!

If you’re someone who is patient you will not be able to relate! I just needed to vent because this sucks!
I have every single thing done for surgery. Every piece of paper has been turned in, every procedure for testing done. I was submitted for insurance and approved. My clinic does not require any further testing. I have not one more appointment. I got a message today being told I was approved and that they are sending my file for clinical review, and to allow 10-14 business days. I would understand if there was more things to complete. But I am 100% ready!
And then after I get the call for consultation, I will have to wait two more weeks to get into the consultation. And then who knows how long out my surgery date will be.
This process has already taken 6 months. Has anyone else had this happen? Please tell me it didn’t take the full two weeks to get a consultation date!

Yes, it's a lengthy process from start to finish. My insurance approval took two weeks, but I couldn't get the surgery for six weeks because my surgeon's calendar was booked up that far out. I know patience is hard, but it's worth it, so just take a deep breath and enjoy the fact that you've been approved.
