Thumbs up Big happy tears!!!!!

My surgeon's office filed with the insurance company on Feb. 10th and being the impatient person that I am, I contacted the insurance company to see how it was going. I just got off the phone with the customer service rep and he says I've been APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Didn't cry on the phone with the insurance guy....but I'm pretty blown away right now. I can't believe this is really happening, and of course I'm scared s#*tless. I've heard so many horror stories with insurance and I'm almost afraid to believe. He says I should have the letter by the end of the week. I think I'll frame it!

I need to go find a hanky and start making "to do lists"

Lisa that is great news. Congrats on your approval. I know this might sound strange but I slept with my letter near my bed for weeks. It was like American Express, I didn't leave home without it.
