Well, I talked to the Doc today. They set my appt. to meet with the surgeon this Wednesday. They said I would be paying my surgeons fee that day so I'm guessing they are pretty confident that my paperwork will be approved. They also set my appt. with the nut doctor for the following Monday. I am so excited and yet still nervous about being approved. Does it sound like I'm on the fast track to my surgery? I sure hope so.

Best of luck. I would suggest working on changing some habits while you wait for your sugery. Try chewing really well and taking smaller bites. Also try putting your fork or spoon down between bits. Dont drink when you eat or til 30-60 minutes after a meal. Also make sure to stop all carbonated drinks. Starting now will help you be successful.
