INSURANCE APPROVAL
My surgeon's office actually called to tell me I'd gotten insurance approval before I even knew that I'd been submitted to insurance. :) I say give it a week before you start making calls.

Hahaha. I hear you. This relates to the XKCD comic I posted in today's menu thread - "if I refresh the tracking page, my package will come sooner!" :)

My bari center failed at telling me. They said it would take 2-4 weeks for approval and told me to just sit tight. So I did, until my final NUT consult and I asked her what my next step was and she went to look at my paperwork and said they had approved me in 2 days!

Still2cute my Doctors office submitted my paperwork and set the same expectation of 2-4 weeks but luckily for me it took less than 7 days. I called my doctors office the day they received the approval just to check in and make sure they had everything they needed. My carrier is Aetna Choice POS II through my employer. It will go fast...don't worry! You are on your way. It is quite nerve racking when you are hoping you did everything required! Stay strong ð?'ª?
