I have been approved! My surgery date is March 12. I could have taken a Feb. 13 surgery date, but my short-term disability benefit does not begin until I've been at my job for 6-months, and that's March 1. I am so excited,I can't stay still. I enjoy reading everyone's post, they have got me through the 23 days it took to be approved. God Bless those who are post-op and those who had surgery this week and will have surgery in the upcoming weeks.
