... and she is the only "thing" standing between me and the surgeon. I've done everything asked of me, i hope she doesnt come up with some crazy list of demands and just ushers me on through to the surgeon!

I wish you luck!
I'm a nh girl, too. Plymouth/Holderness, nh. Now I'm living in pa before moving to sunny Florida

Good luck

Hope all goes well

I was all set to submit my paperwork to insurance. Didn't realize i needed a medical release from my primary care. She wouldn't write the letter until I had a chest X-ray, saw a Pulmonologist, cardiologist and hematologist. Put me and my surgery way behind. At least my doctor is thorough! But a big pain in the butt.

My surgical team required the chest x-ray, cardio and pulmonary before my surgery. Don't sweat it -- it will happen soon enough.

It went great and I have my appointment with the surgeon on April 19, ooooh!! Hopefully it's fast after that!
