Well, today has been very emotional. I called the dr to see if they had heard from the insurance company and they had. My insurance denied it. The waterworks started. The girl told me the doctor was going to call them at 3 to talk to them. He did and at 3:15 I got the call that I had been approved. My surgery is December 31st. What a way to bring in the new year. I am thinking about all of you. I go in Monday for my pre-opt appt with my doctor. I am excited and nervous about this new journey I am about to start.
