Thanks so much!! I'm having 3 section with a quiropractor every week! I did physical therapy but it didn't do much on my back, shoulder and neck! I summited the quiropractor and my PCP to the insurance, so hopefully I'll get an answer soon, praying!!!

Hello, I'm so nervous about this, I already did all the paperwork with my PCP and the quiropractor, I went to the surgeon consultation two weeks ago and he said I'm an excellent candidate for a BR, he request a mammograms due to my family breast cancer history, so I have scheduled an appointment for next Monday, but I still waiting for my approval, does anybody know how long it's take for the insurance to approved a BR??

Thanks so much!!
