WOW - 3 months in already!
WOW - I can't believe that I started this process in February and it's 3 months later... where has the time gone?
I did something very smart today and I would like to share it with you all, and perhaps newbies that are starting the process.
I had my 3 therapist visit on Saturday and my regular Doctor visit this afternoon. I went ahead and booked the next three appointments (May, June and July) for the 1st of each month with each Doctor. This way, come Thursday July 1, I will be done and both Doctors promised me that all my paperwork will be ready on Friday to go! I spoke to the insurance person from UHC and she said that they can get the surgery scheduled within a week of getting all the paperwork! That means I won't have to miss any time from school (that is, if I still have a teaching job next year, that is!)
I can't believe it's been 3 months already!
On a good note, I've lost 14 pounds since January, but I still need the surgery!
Woot! Woot!

You are doing so well! Congratulations!
Just a little caution. I was told last year that June/July, and November/December seem to be the busiest months for surgeries (teachers going back to work and patients trying to get the surgery before the end of the year). And with more SHBP members switching because this coverage is now offered, it may be more so this year.
Just be sure to keep your patience. You will soon reap the wonderful rewards of your decision to take this journey!
