I GOT SURGERY DATE!!!!

HI Eveyone I just had to tell someone I FINALLY GOT APPROVED!! My surgeons office called me about 9:00 am this morning and told me I was approved, at first I thought is was a joke someone was playing on me, since I was denied twice already and I figured it wasnt going to happen for me but my surgeons office did an appeal and now its really going to happen!! Sorry for going on like this but Im just so excited I dont know what to do with myself Not to mention Tomorrow is my birthday!! and they gave me a surgery date for JANUARY 16!! plus my husband and I have our 27th anniversary on Jan 6!! IS this too good to be true? This is going to be the best birthday and New Year for me EVER!! THANK U ALL SO MUCH for all your support here on OH!! I dont know what I would do with out you all out there helping me when I was so down and didnt think Id ever have the surgery. Its really going to happen and Im so scared, nervous and excited all at the same time. I keep asking myself if I can really do this. all kinds of things going through my head right now. Well I hope everyone has a GREAT HOLIDAY and a Wonderful NEW YEAR!! Please keep me in your prayers! Thanks again Denise
