Exclamation Surgery is official now
I received my "official" insurance approval for the surgery! Although they had pre-approved it long ago, now that the date is set, they've commited! I'll have my pre-op hospital visit and see my surgeon today. Man, the emotions are flowing now...happy, scared, excited, scared, anxious...

Hi Anna... I'm happy for you! Even now, it seems unreal to me... I waited, I hopped through hoops, I had the surgery... <blink!>

Feeling great - and I know you'll do just fine!!! Keep posting!

So my surgery is scheduled for April 14th, but my doctors office says they won't get approval from my insurance company till a week before. Is that normal? any one deal with RMSCO and have any stories to tell?

I got my approval Saturday and surgery is next Monday, so that's about a week before surgery.
