Waiting to get a surgery date

:w00t: I was approved for my surgery about a month ago. My surgery date was scheduled to Nov 9,2008 but the doctor hadnt finalized all the paperwork with the new hospital he would be working out of; so they rescheduled to the 25th which wasnt so bad even if I was upset about it. :wub: But yesterday they called me to reconfirm everything when they noticed that my insurance had coded me ok for gastric by-pass not lapband. :) i couldnt beleive they made that mistake!:w00t: I was beyond upset but I couldnt do anything except now wait until all the paperwork is approved again with the right coding. I just cant beleive this but again this would only happen to me:crying: I need moral support. I have no idea when they will re-approve or if they even will. I cant believe I am going thru this waiting process again:cry_smile:
