Finally approved!!!

I have been fighting with insurance since Feb 04. After 2 appeal letters and sending it to the insurance review board, I was finally approved Sept 2,04. My surgery date is Sept 22,04. Dr Dwayne Smith is doing my surgery and I am very pleased with him so far. His staff is wonderful. Anyone have a moment, please say a prayer for me on the 22nd. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
