Because we didn't have to fight with my insurance as much as anticipated, I was able to move my tentative surgery date of December 6th, 2012 up to a solid surgery date of October 25th, 2012!!! How awesome is that? The not so awesome part? My coordinator told me that I would have to have $1300 up front by my pre-surg physical on October 3rd!!! I freaked a little because while I was expecting to have to pay something up front, $1300 almost gave me a heart attack! And in such a short time!

I talked with her and made arrangements so that I could pay closer to my surgery date and I am going to move some funds around so that I am able to afford it. I'm not going to lie, though...For a brief moment, I thought that all of the work I put in to get approved was washed away because of the price tag.

I am super excited and feel like October 25th can't get here fast enough! I am ready to start this new chapter in my life!

CONGRATS on your surgery date!!! I just had surgery 15 days ago and I am not looking forward to the part that is not covered by the insurance!!!

That is exciting! I would love to have mine done sooner but since I was able to pick my date I guess I can't complain haha

Time is going to fly by, I can't wait to join you on the losers bench:)

Yay good for you! My date is 22nd October, I wish it was sooner I'm so excited!

Thanks guys! I am obsessing a little...lol
