Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 I heard from Barbara today that Dr. R. approved my packet today so I'm official. The bad news is that the dates I wanted are full so I guess it will be clinic on 10/03 and surgery on 10/04 for me. Oh well - what is a $1000 deposit anyway right. 27 days and counting to my " new beginning " . For those of you waiting on word from your packet - I sent my Fedex on Thursday of last week, e.mailed on Friday and asked for confirmation which I got late in the afternoon along with a note about my missing Pap smear. Finally got that and faxed it on Wednesday, got an e.mail last night saying he would review and I would hear something today. Hope that helps. on Beginning anew on 10/04/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Congrats . I am hoping to get that date too. I went to my PCP today and can pick up everything from her on Tuesday, so my packet should arrive at Dr. R's office on Wednesday. I will make sure that my PCP includes my pap smear results, so I don't get delayed. I have everything else completed and ready to go. Sound like they did the approval pretty quickly for you, even with the missing piece. I am crossing my fingers that it will get approved quickly and there will still be some slots for October 4 or 5. My husband has vacation that week and its not easy for him to change weeks. I also got a letter from CIGNA today confirming that they had approved the surgery. Although they told me on the phone that it would be considered " in network " , I'll believe it when I see it happen. Can't wait to do the dance - I hope we can be littermates. - waiting in Chicago I'm officially approved! > I heard from Barbara today that Dr. R. approved my packet today so > I'm official.
