I feel like I'm getting the run around..

So if you have read any of my other posts, I apologize but I am going to reiterate a little so new readers/responders know what's going on.

I was diagnosed with mod/severe dysplasia when I was pregnant last year. I had the LEEP done in April and I go for regular PAPs every few months. My surgeon said he needed documentation stating that I received treatment for this and am under the care of a physician. Done. So they called me back a few weeks ago and said that I needed to have another PAP (per my GYN) since I was due so I am waiting on that next week but got an email from the surgeons office stating that my PAP had to be normal before I could be "cleared" for surgery. Normal? My PAPs aren't normal and my GYN informed me that they wouldn't be normal for a while. So I sent a nasty-ish email back stating that is not what they originally told me. She said that they will submit all my information to the board after I get my PAP and they will see that I have a history of abn PAPs and may say they need a letter from my GYN stating that I am good to have surgery. My question is should I go ahead and have my GYN submit that just so that they will have it and it won't make me wait another couple weeks before I can get approved?

I would go ahead and have your GYN send the letter; it never hurts to be proactive. I like to stay on top of things and get the requested things done as quickly as possible. Good luck to you!
