Very cool!  Have you already gone thru everything else?  Or isn't anything other than a consult needed?

Topic: Surgical Consult & Setting the date

I have my surgical consult next Thursday! The receptionist said that as long as everything goes smoothly during the appointment, we should be able to schedule!! I am so darn excited! I have waited for this for soooo long it seems!

I always find it interesting what different test different surgeons require.  This is the very FIRST time I have heard they needed a copy of a pap.

Topic: RE: I must admit...

Did you find out which all surgeries they cover and what you are required to be approved?  If you need to do a supervised diet, it is a good idea to get started on that as they are usually 3-6 months.
