I'M APPROVED!!!!!!!
WHOO HOOO!!! I am so excited. I just called my insurance and they said that my request was approved today.
I called my surgeon, but they won't let me schedule my pre-op appointment until they have it in writing. They said my insurance usually gets the letters out to them pretty quickly so hopefully I will get my pre-op appointment date soon.
She said there was still some openings for the December pre-op day, so hopefully I can get in that group with some of you.
One step closer

I got a call from the surgeon yesterday and I am scheduled for the Jan. 10th pre-op class. I am happy I got scheduled but was really hoping for the Dec. 12th date so I could join Angela & Terri. They said the last spot got filled on Friday. I asked if there were ever any cancelations and she said sometimes, but it is very rare. I would be the first one to get moved up.
She said it really won't make a big difference in my surgury date whether I was the last one in the Dec. group or the 1st one in the January group. I was just hoping to join some other OH members.
