  1. Am scheduled to have surgery Tuesday September 4th. But on Thursday I got a call from the receptionist @ the Doctors office saying they have to cancel the surgery because I won't get approved by tuesday! I was confused since i had recieved a letter of approval from my insurance company a month prior to the surgery date and I SHOWED it to them when I went for my preop testing that previous Friday. She said she didnt remember so yesterday morning I re faxed EVERYTHING!!! I got a call from my doctor yesterday afternoon saying he will keep me on his schedule for Tuesday but pushed me back, to be his second case just in case the insurance company approves it that same morning! This uncertainty is driving me crazy!!!!!!! :_( :_(
