I can't belive it I finaly got my insurance approval for surgery!!!!!!!!!

It has only taken 12 months and agreeing to travel to Atlanta GA for the surgery. Now all I need to do is get clearence from cardiology and pulmonlogy and a upper GI series. I think I will be having surgery at the end of Jan, begining of Feb at Emery hospital in Atlanta. I am jumping up and down for joy right now. So wish me luck. Anne

Good Luck Anne! That is fantastic.

Too bad you can not have Dr. Byrne or one of his team do it, but I am sure you will be in fantastic hands. Keep us posted. Julie

I can go the distance... I do not care how far... I know every mile will be worth my while.

My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my DOGS already think I am!

Thank you all for your encouragment. In respose to the question to why I have to go to Atlana, my insurance requires that I have the surgery at a hosptial owned by HCA since I work at a hospital owned by HCA. I am hoping to have my follow up care with Dr Byrne though, I think insurance will pay for him as a follow up.
