I'm Approved!!!
I'm so excited I just have to share my good news with you all. It took only 4 days for the insurance company to approve my panniculectomy! 
I emailed my customer service area this morning just to confirm the prior approval request had been received and they told me it was received on 4/14 and approved on 4/20. I was so excited I was literally shaking. Because they said 'approved' and not 'partially' approved I assume that means they have approved the TT as well. (Dr said he was going to send that in and well and was thinking the type insurance I have would pay for it.)
I didn't even think of the TT part until I called Tammy to tell her and she asked if it was included in the approval. I was like...DUH...didn't even think about that part. Either way I'm getting the TT too.
Once I get the official letter of approval in the mail I will know more.
I want one more visit and Q/A session with the Dr before I set a date, but I'm thinking I'll shoot for the last week in May. That will fit best into my work schedule and will give me some time to prepare.
