But thanks to you guys, I expected it and didn't panic. They denied on the basis of needing a separate medical evaluation, which I have and was included in the information that was already sent. They are asking that we split it out and resend it. Once that is done, I should know in 5 days. It has been a long haul because the surgeon didn't originally want to do the surgery because of prior medical history-it has been over 2 years since my first visit there! Ready to get the show on the road already!

Prior medical history in terms of what? (if you don't mind me asking).

I had an intestinal blockage requiring surgery and some complications almost 10 years ago.

What are the signs you may have blockage ?
