Insurance Approval?

I'm seeing Dr. Ahuja.  I actually had my endoscopy today.  My psych eval isn't until December 28th, so that's all we will be waiting on to submit to insurance.  I have Medicaid because my husband wasn't offered health insurance through his job (he was a roofer, and actually had an accident at work, fell off a roof in January) and I'm still a student, not working (at least not for money, I have 3 kids.)  

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows how long it takes for Medicaid to approve?  I go for my pre-op group and final appointment on January 5th.  Classes start back up January 18th and I was really needing to get this done before school starts.  It's going to be hard enough not to be able to drive the kids to school, but I don't know how I'll do it if I have to wait until after the semester starts to have surgery.  I'm getting stressed a bit!
