I got a call from my surgeon's nurse today.  She started out telling me that my PCP hadn't faxed my pre-op screening results (crap) but then went on to say that she'd gotten a call from my insurance to say that I was approved.  OMG YAY!  I didn't even know that the nurse had submitted to insurance already!!  

 

YAY YAY YAY, I'm approved!!  23 days to go!

Yay! I called my insurance and they said there was something wrong with what was submitted. Grr. Scared it will be something major that will throw things back.

Congratulations!   You can at least breathe a sigh of relief that the red tape is done.  Now it's the count down to scalpel day.
