I had to wait for insurance approval. Now they say THERE doctor has to review my cardio approval. I feel like they are putting me off. Why can't they go ahead and give you a schedule? Guess I'm impatient! Lol

If anything happens it's the doctor who is liable. They need to sign off on everything before the surgery.

Remember they don't get paid unless they do the surgery so don't worry. It will happen sooner than you think.

There are risks associated with surgery and anesthesia. Surgeons have to weigh these risks, prior to operation and anesthesia. You could possibly have an underlying disease that could present a poor outcome. It's in everyone's best interest that this is done prior to scheduling surgery.
