Hi Debbie,
Thank you for posting encouragement on my surgery page. I just started my 5 day clear liquid pre op diet. Yikes! What would I give for a burger right now! I really wanted to encourage you to keep after your ins company, don't give up. I saw my first surgeon in August of 02 and am just now having my surgery. Persistance pays off. My policy with Cigna said the surgery was excluded except in cases of medical necessity. It took many phone calls and letters but they finally relented and approved me. Good luck and God bless you. Linda
