Re: Anyone with a similar experience?

[Guest guest]

My ortho was not ready when my insurance FINALLY approved my

surgery. He had put me on " hold " instead of get me ready for

surgery and then putting me on hold. I had a similar work

situation. I am the assistant to the CFO where I work and had a

small window that I would be off from work.

We went ahead with the surgery which probably explains why I am six

months post op and still in braces...scheduled to come off in July.

Yepee.

Good luck.
