I am not so worried about my insurance approving me as I am about getting financing for the surgery. My insurance only pays 50% and I don't know what I will do if I can't get approved by CareCredit (patient financing organization.) Life really sucks right now. I am supposed to lose 20 pounds and I have managed to gain 6+ in the past week from stress. Sorry, don't mean to whine!
