Question:
OH MY LORD!!!!

My Ins. called this morning and said everything was looking really good. She was so supportive. Said all they needed was a letter from the Surgeon. Surgeon faxed it to them right away. I should hear this afternoon or in the morning for sure. I'm sooooo very excited and soooo very scared. Thank you all for you prayers. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Keep them up -- I still do not have a final approval. Michelle C. I will be contacting you soon (I hope) for samples and advise. Love & Hugs to all    — Lillian G. (posted on September 11, 2000)

I agree - totally! The waiting is oh so very hard. I was lucky and got approval in two weeks. Now I am awaiting my surgery date (10-5-00) and it is sooooooooooo difficult. Good luck hope you get approved!!!!

I share your emotions. I agonized over the weekend because of a cryptic letter I got from my insurance company stating I could probably qualify but they don't pre approve surgeries. Not knowing how the doctor would deal with this I was totally shocked and thrilled when this morning they went ahead and got a surgery date for me. I have the surgery in 5 weeks on 11/27/00. I am just so excited yet scared to death. I don't think I'll sleep until then and I don't have much of an appetite either. LOL At this rate I may not need the surgery. ;)
