I'M APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After waiting for 11 weeks....I was approved today! WOOOOOHOOOOO I was told it will take a week or so for my surgeon's scheduler to get ahold of me and set up my date. Apparently my surgeon handles it like this: You come in for your consultation with him, and on the same day, they schedule ALL of your tests, like the ultrasound, endoscopy, pulmonary, all of that. Works for me, since he's a couple hours from me. My surgery will be at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield. OMG I am so excited!!!!!!!!! Bliss.... ~Shan~

That's great!!!! I'll bet that's a relief!! I'm in the process of approval...it's SO frustrating!

Thanx!!! Yes, it is frustrating! I feel like I've been holding my breath through all of this. Now I can breathe!! LOL I'm gonna be bouncing off the walls until I hear from his scheduler. I hope you get your approval soon! Bliss....... ~Shan~

All right Shanon! Glad to hear your finally approved! You will be on the losers bench with us in no time. Keep us posted on a date ok? WTG! Cheryl

Congratulations! I was approved last week and have been on cloud nine ever since! Isn't it a great feeling to be over the hurdle of getting your insurance approval? That was a huge relief for me! Maybe you'll be having surgery around the time I am (3/2) and we can compare notes! Good luck ... enjoy the great news! Tess

Good for you that you are approved! I was a year out on 1/2 and am so very thankful that I had the surgery. The results far exceeded my expectations. You are going to be so pleased. Best of luck on your journey. Paula.
