Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Stefany, How did you do that? You called about one month after I did and got an appt in July when I couldn't get one until Sept! Please let me know, I really need to move mine up before my insurance changes at the end of the year. Puzzled, Angel --- lionrampart1@... wrote: > Congratulations Stephany!!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Angel, I sent you a personal email. I am not sure but I think because I was already approved. You might call and tell them you need to get in sooner because of your insurance. The only reason I got in in July was they set my date for surgery Oct 9th and needed to get me in before then. I think everything was full but they went ahead and squeezed me in in July. I am not sure what happened though. Maybe you should call Kim again. I am sorry, I feel bad for getting in before you when you called before me! Stefany Re: Re: surgery date!!!!! > Stefany, > How did you do that?
