Auntie 0 Posted January 1, 2012 I was just recently approved for surgery too. I am scheduled for 2/13/12. It has been such a long process for me and it never felt real until I received insurance approval ( which I was not expecting, since it is not a procudre generally covered & usually has to be appealed). Now I am both excited and a little afraid too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
