I'm approved!!!!! It took exactly one day from submission to approval!!! Holy cow I am in shock. I see some of you appear to be in the preop phase with Dr. Schweitzer--any dates yet? I have to wait for that but they are thinking mid-February.

I just wanted to share!!

WOOHOO...congratulations!! One day is awesome...particularly with Dr. Schweitzer's office. It took me a little over a week to get my date after I was approved, your paperwork has to go through about 2 more people, if I remember correctly.

Congrats again, February is just around the corner.

Yes, she said it was going to a nurse case manager to decide what preop testing I need and then to the scheduler. Yeah, the approval wasn't the problem--it was getting the darn paperwork submitted. I had turned everything in with all i's dotted and all t's crossed almost a month ago. I realize we had Thanksgiving in there, but I was starting to get a little impatient although I managed to keep smiling through it and thankfully it worked out. I surely didn't want to burn that bridge!

Yes, February is just around the corner! At first I was hoping for January but then I realized--it is almost January!!! I don't mind the extra couple weeks to get stuff in order.

Thanks!
