Well...

I was informed today that everything was sent to my insurance today for a medical review. They usually take 15 to 30 business days for a decision so I am stuck playing the waiting game, but to look back I thought this day would never come and now that its here I am at peace. I have done everything I can do to get approved and its up to the insurance. But if those buggers deny me then its on! Thanks to everyone for their suppor****ch out Nancy I am right behind ya girl!! I can't wait til you know your date next week. Congrats on your journey so far and let me know if you need anything  :)

That's the spirit Karen - stay calm for the waiting game - as there is no point getting worked up over things you can't control - and if they deny you, battle it out with them!! Some insurance companies deny people automatically the first time to see how determined you are - don't let it get to you! Jackie

OK Karen that's the next step! You have a good attitude. Wishing you a quick approval!

I love a fighter ... good for you .. tell them to bring it on .. I have told so many people not to give up .. it is worth the fight ..  Please keep us posted on your journey ...  Tink

Hi Karen - I just wanted to say I think you have nothing to worry about.  The people in Dr. Schirmer's office are wonderful!  Take a deep breath, the ball will start rolling very soon.  Stay positive and focused -- GOD will give you what you need. Jackie

Karen Don't feel you have to wait 15-30 days.  Call the insurance company as soon and as frequently as you want.  I was told it could take 2 weeks to a month for them to review my case.  It was completed in 1 week and I knew right away (even before the surgeon's office) because I called them. Keep your spirits up!  It will happen!

For me, the waiting time was the hardest thing.  I was denied twice before finally getting approved the third time;  it took over a year between my initial consult and my surgery.  IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!  Try to relax and wait for good news!!

Well sweetie the worse is done now we wait and it will happen, just relax and breath they will approve you, and if not we will fight until they do! So hang in there your day is right around the corner you hear!!. Hugssss.....

I agree with Cleo...call & bugg 'em every few days.  You know the old saying...squeeky wheel gets the grease! LOL

YEAH!!!! It won't be long now. You will be approved and guess what ....I'll be right behind you--God willing!!
