Thumbs up YAY for you!

Congrats! My process was VERY quick...I am Tri-Care Prime and had MAJOR medical reasons for the surgery. I didn't have to wait long.

Congratulations Jamie!! For me it was a long wait but that's because my surgeon wasn't happy with my lab results. It took me 5 months to get them where he liked them and then another 2 months to wait for surgery. I know if my labs had been good it would have been like about a 2 month wait from approval to surgery.

Let us know when you get your date!

Once approved (12/10)... it took about 2 months (02/05) to have my surgery... there were the holidays in there and vacations for the surgeons (they work as a team).... time did fly by quickly tho!

CONGRATS on the quick approval! Hang on!!!!
