Turtle speed then....fast forward!!!

I started this process back in February with one surgeon and a nightmare later am on my 2nd surgeon. The 1st knowingly kept telling me that they were going to be In Network with my insurance by the time I finished my 6 month doctor evaluated diet in May. Didn't happen...Long story short I finally had to go to another surgeon at the end of October. After only 2 1/2 half weeks with the new surgeon I have done all the other requirements of the insurance company and they have submitted my paperwork to them. I see the surgeon today and hopefully will soon have a surgery date. I can't believe I wasted all that time! Now to calm the butterflies that have erupted in my stomach!!
