    Default Waiting

    Hi all-

    So, last week all my paperwork was sent to the insurance for approval (I hope). I was told that with my insurance it will be 1 to 3 weeks before I hear anything. I'm hoping to have the surgery, if approved, before the end of the summer. Playing the waiting game now. Wish me luck!

    I think when they tell you 2-3 weeks sometimes they are using reverse psychology to avoid you calling them. They told me the same thing and it only took about 6 days to get approval. Smile!

    Hopefully you get your approval quickly. Most offices are good about ensuring that you meet all the requirements. I know that my surgeon's office was on top of it. They want you to get approved because the make their money off the actual surgery, not the pre op requirements to get approved. Good luck.
