Holy Crap...you just submitted your paperwork and got approved in a matter of like two days? WOW...what kind of insurance do you have?

Hopefully you can get a date just as quickly, huh?

Congrats to you!!!

Seriously, I've been working at this since last August and the insurance I had then required a 12 months diet.

It was more like 5 days..lol. And it felt like a year. I have Highmark Blue Shield PPO. It's weird because I live in MI and it's out of PA.
