April 2019 Surgeries!
I am confused because I got a surgery date for 4/30 but I still have a couple of test to do. And my last nutritionist is next Tuesday. I just dont get it. And when I asked her dont u have to submit to insurance to get approved? She said you will be approved dont worry about it. So i am not even too excited that is so soon I'm afraid to get excited. ???

I am in big trouble now!!!!
Hey everyone so I had a couple of appointments today and also had to see my surgery coordinator and good news is I got a surgery date but the bad news is they ordered a nicotine test for Thursday and I quit smoking last Tuesday. She said it would be out of my system in 2 weeks but it hasn't been 2 weeks. I'm so upset they probably going to cancel my surgery date. I am so screwed
