Procedure now covered by insurance since July 1st. Was approved for surgery. Went to consultation. Dr. told me he knows it is approved, BUT...he had no idea what the criteria was to follow through with. SO, he made 2nd appointment so he could find out exactly what proverbial hoops i need to jump through. I had already waited a month to even see him! Jeez....is he incompetent or what? I was told by his nurse that i only have a six month window to have the surgery. Plus the coverage for only 6 appointments...1 per month...to still be qualified. Does this sound right? Am i wasting precious time???? Also, he is only surgeon in state. So i have to just wait it out....uggg.

Thank you all for your valuable information!!! It has helped calm my nerves quite a bit!!! It all makes sense to me!!! I know now that I just need to keep up with everything and just bide my time. Again, Thank you SO much guys!!!!

My surgery has already been approved. I will meet my Doctor for the first time tomorrow, September 16, 2013. Anyone have any advice? I'm just uncertain of what to expect and what I need to accomplish on a first visit. Very excited but scared! Is being scared normal? Thank you to anyone who replies!!!
