Have explained your situation to them? It must be very unnerving. I'm sending prayers your way.

I explained and got oh I just don't know whst they can do. Great thanks for nothing

Depending on who you talked to, try faxing a brief letter to your surgeon and a copy to his office manager outlining your dilemma and asking for their help. Regular staffers don't have the authority to do anything about the surgical schedule, but the surgeon and his manager both have a strong financial incentive to squeeze you into the schedule. You have to stay on top of this and be your own best advocate. Be polite but firm!

I know but the woman I spoke to is her right hand man so to speak. Im trying to be polite. But its hard

Sometimes the 'right hand' is passive and you need to be aggressive to get your surgery date before you lose your insurance coverage. Try that letter to the surgeon with a copy to the office manager. The surgeon has the discretion to change the surgery schedule, but you need to make him aware of the problem and the urgency of your situation. Good luck--will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Thank good ness I have an amazing DR surgery is nov 12th. Yiipoeeeee
