Approved in 4 Days!!
I'm so excited I just have to share my good news with you all. It took only 4 days for the insurance company to approve my panniculectomy! 
I emailed my customer service area this morning just to confirm the prior approval request had been received and they told me it was received on 4/14 and approved on 4/20. I was so excited I was literally shaking. Because they said 'approved' and not 'partially' approved I assume that means they have approved the TT as well. (Dr said he was going to send that in and well and was thinking the type insurance I have would pay for it.)
I didnt even think of the TT part until I called my best friend to tell her and she asked if it was included in the approval. I was like...DUH...didn't even think about that part. Either way I'm getting the TT too.
Once I get the official letter of approval in the mail I will know more.
I want one more visit and Q/A session with the Dr before I set a date, but I'm thinking I'll shoot for the last week in May. That will fit best into my work schedule and will give me some time to prepare.

Congratulations! I know how you're feeling. I got my approval in 2 days and couldn't believe it after all the horror stories of waiting forever for approvals and having to go through appeals that I've heard about.
I had my anchor cut panni two weeks ago, no muscle done, and so far so good. I've got pics on my profile if you want to see them.
Definitely good idea to have another visit and make sure you get all your questions answered. And of course, all of us on here are happy to answer questions too.
Good luck.
