Surgery date with no approval??

I have my surgery date, most of the tests done, and I started the liquid diet today. The doctors office told me it was too early to send the information in and get approval. My surgery date is 4-28-08. I have BCBS of NY.

Really????? What happens if they deny me? Do I have to stay on the liquid diet for longer than the 4 weeks I am on it? I am so confused?

    I had a surgery date before my papers were processed too. Then, when the hospital moved my surgery up a month, my papers were submitted and I was approved in 24 hours. Weird. I have Oxford Liberty. I think busy doctors do give you the surgery date to block up their time in advance.
