I finally get to post, saying "I got a surgery date"......Yay!!!! My auth request to my insurance was just sent in this morning, but the surgeon's office feels confident that it'll be approved, and I'm a retiree with the insurance company so I have a contact with the insurance company and they've agreed to expedite the auth for me and said they'll process it within 24 hours......So I have pre-admission testing and a final visit with my surgeon on May 2nd and surgery scheduled for May 16th!!!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time!!!

Congrats on the surgery date. I was expecting an early May date but mine is not until May 25th. I'm happy for you and also understand why the nervous and excited at the same time. You'll do great!

Thanks @@WantToBe you'll do great too and your date will be here before you know it!!!
