Really!?!?! Cancelled The Day B4 Surgery After 3 Weeks Liquid

Yup just got a call from Hospital they cancelled my sleeve for tomorrow because..... my primary insurance (mine from my job) only covers emergency hospitalization, my wifes insurance covers everything and is what my WHOLE family use for doctors and anything else that goes wrong. Well my primary denied of course because I only have emergency hosp but my wifes insurance approved the sleeve. Now the day b4 surgery someone in the hospital called my primary to "double check" authorization which was of course denied and now im in phone tag trying to get this resolved and we are now out of time. So off work for 2 weeks screwed out of and the next surgery date is Sept 21st I cant do it for one wait that long after this horrible 3 week liquid diet and try and get off another 2 weeks unpaid next month... Im just giving up... no way I can make it to next month and line up my ducks again.
