Talking I Have Been Approved!!!!!!

YES!!! I have been approved, I have my authorization number in hand and all I have to do is pack my bag!! LOL
I called my insurance group about an hour ago, and the lady told me that they approved me today! I called and spoke with Alicia and she was going to have Leslie call me and we'll schedule a date. Although I will still have to see a radiologist about inserting Vena Cava filter and Dr. Callery told me he wants to speak to a hematologist to find out if he needs to take more precautions with me in surgery due to my Factor V Leiden, those things still have to be done, but, I'm hoping we can put those few little things behind us too, they're nothing compared to what we've done... SO, we're down to the wire finally
WOOHOO!!!!!!

Sandi
is doin' the happy dance!!!

Sandi,

I am so happy for you. I knew you would get a date eventually. Soon you'll be much happier and healthier.
