My last nutrition appointment is June 1 and I get my surgery date at that time. However, that doesn't really matter until I get my insurance approval. They give me a surgery date, but say they will push it back if approval doesn't come.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144181805749574562.post-56499497943551107122010-05-18T10:40:12.879-07:002010-05-18T10:40:12.879-07:00I will be spreading approval dust for you when the...I will be spreading approval dust for you when they get it sent.

I had an upper GI, but did not need a chest xray. You are very close now. It took about two weeks for my approval to come thru. Once it does then things can go pretty quick.

They occurred from May through the middle of July, then my surgery was scheduled for early August 08.
