THE WAIT IS OVER- I AM APPROVED!!

I am so excited. I talked to the insurance company this afternoon and I was told I was approved. I even wrote down the approval number just in case something comes up. I am so happy. I called the Doctors office but the girl who handles everything is out until Monday, but thats ok, I can deal with it because I am approved. Does anyone know or have an estimate from how long it took from getting an approval to getting a surgery date? I am seeing Dr. Seiloff in Tallahassee. I can't wait to be a LOSER. FINALLY!!

woo-hoo with a big happy dance, skip, hop,dosey doe, happy dance!!!! How wonderfully exciting Patricia!!! You could be schedules in as early as 3 weeks if all the pre op stuff is done! Congratulations!! blessings, Tami

First of all congratulations. You have the biggest hurdle behind you. Second, Dr Sieloff is the greatest. After I go my approval I had an appointment 2 weeks later and then my surgery was the next week. Everything happened so fast I thought it was going to be to good to be true. But everything went off without a hitch. I also am a nursing instructor who teaches at the hospital where you will be staying. You will be on the floor that I have my students on. Let me know when I you have your surgery I would love to meet you. Feel free to ask any question you want. I am always happy to talk about my experience.

Thank you, I will keep a look out for you. I am going to call on Monday and talk to Tracy with Dr. Seiloff's office about getting an appointment. I can't wait.

Let us know as soon as you get a date.

Angie, I am a nurse as well. I live in Pensacola area and work at a small hospital. That will really be nice for you to be there when she is having her surgery. have a good weekend. thanks donna
