I was approved but now denied.

I was approved for open gastric bypass surgery. I am less than 2 weeks from my date, July 8th. I have all my pre-op done, work scheduled off, childcare set-up for a week and have all the foods(broth) ready. My insurance just sent a letter stating that this surgery is not covered under my plan. I am emotionally devastated. My surgeons office is behind me 100%. They have called and are fighting with them. They say they will not even pay for my pre-ops. I live in Pa. but my insurance is Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois through Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is in the top of the Fortune 500, they are the #1 company in the world. I just don't understand it. I guess if anyone has anything they can tell me to do, I would appreciate it. My surgeon has not cancelled my date yet. I see him tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has been writing to me and praying for me with my upcoming date. I am going to fight this but I just want to keep the surgery date that I have. Thanks, Susan
