Changing plastic surgeon's after insurance approval

I've been approved for a hernia repair/TT. I'm scheduled for surgery on 3/22/04 @ 12:30P at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI. The plastic/general surgeons that is scheduled to perform the surgery is good, BUT I really want the doctor from Providence Hospital in Southfield, MI to perform the surgeon because most of his patients are BTC patients AND he does more suction in the belly and around the waist area (a plus). His photos of past/present patients look great. My question(s) to my fellow BTC brothers/sisters is: Has anyone every changed plastic surgeon after insurance approval? If so, did that approval carry over to the new surgeon or did you have to go through the approval process all over again? Any feedback, advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
