I had the sleeve surgery on 4/26 . I stayed two nights in the hospital, but I received a letter saying one night was covered....what should I do??

Let the surgeon's office handle it, as it was their judgement that you needed to be there an additional day. That happens all the time - there are minor complications, or the patient isn't quite ready to be discharged so they are kept an additional day. I was only scheduled to be there one day but it turned into two; my wife had an outpatient orthopedic surgery but was kept overnight as she wasn't ready to be discharged on the original schedule. The insurance works it out with the doctors.
