So Steve...based on your response, which I greatly appreciate, my only comment is that my insurance already approved me. Did I leave that part out? When I initially saw the surgeon I had to disclose any medications that I was taking. So when they submitted my info to the insurance company, I'm assuming it included my medications. Once completing the stuff they asked me to do it gets resubmitted for the final approval. So I'm thinking when they initially relieved my info that if the methadone was an issue I wouldn't have been approved at all. They would've come back and said I had to get off of it first, wouldn't you think? Just curious bc it would be very frustrating for them to put me thru all these tests to come back and say, oh yeah we forgot to mention you have to get off that first, right? Thoughts?
