Hi. My name is Cecilia and this is my first time posting. I am currently waiting for insurance approval, and chewing my nails to the bone!! Anyone have any advice??
Hey Cecilia,
Welcome to the Oklahoma board.
First of all hang in there. The process can be long and painful or it can be short and sweet. For most it is some where in the middle.
The best advice I can give is "be an educated patient" know what to expect.... ask questions and come in here anytime for help and support.
Take the dreaded measurements and the final "before" picture. You will be so glad you did.
Good luck on your journey.

Thank you Dianna.
Hopefully the insurance process won't be too much longer. I have help on the inside of the insurance company, and if all goes well, I will have an answer by the end of the week. Just waiting for an answer is driving me bonky!!
Cecilia,
Just breathe easy. I know this is the hardest part of the entire process. The wait for an answer is painstaking. Keep a positive attitude, sometimes the insurance companies make us jump through hoops before approval, but getting approval is what the surgeons office is all about. They know how to work the system and they don't submit until they are pretty sure you can get approved.
