Dare I hope this is going better than expected?

After I attended the weight loss surgery informational seminar earlier this month I started right in on all of the paperwork, and I won't lie, it was A LOT of paperwork to fill out but it could have been worse.  I contacted my OB/GYNs office and also my family nurse practitioner's office and requested that any records or office notes that list my weights be forwarded to the bariatric surgery nurse coordinator.  I was honestly thinking it would take a while but it actually has been very quick.  Everyone I have had to speak to by phone or email so far has been very nice and very accommodating.  The bariatric RN gathered all of my weight data and she not only talked to the insurance company but also contacted my nurse practitioner for a letter of medical necessity for the surgery and a referral to the surgeon, so I guess that step, I can say, came together nicely and much quicker than I thought it would. I was worried because my BMI range was not always over 40 during the last two years, which is what the insurance company wants, but I guess they will attribute the times my BMI was under 40 to times I was actively dieting.  As soon as the referral is received by the surgeon's office I can go in for my initial appointment with him.  There are many steps to take after that before the actual surgery and I'm sure things won't keep going this smoothly, but so far this is going well.
