Does anybody know anything about Dr. Pennington at Trinity? I am scheduled for surgery on Dec. 1, 2008. After reading some of ya'll's posts, I am thinking I am missing something, this process just has not been that painful for me. I started seeing my internist in January this year, once a month for 6 months. Had appt. with Dr. Pennington for first time in July. First sleep study in July, second one, with cpap machine first of August, scheduled for surgery shortly thereafter. Granted, I have insurance through UAB hospital, not BCBS so that may be why it has been less painful for me. I just can't help but think I am missing something? If the Dr.'s office calls and says, "you've been approved" is there anything else I need to do other than show up for surgery?
