Un Update (since I'm sure you're all dying to know)

I'm sure you've been biting your nails and are on the edge of your seat waiting to hear the news on my pending breast reduction. It's been a battle with insurance over the past couple of days. Apparently the doctor was planning to take out 2.6 oz. less than the requirement. I talked to him and he doesn't seem to think that taking out the extra 2.6 oz. will be any big deal. He said they can usually find enough 'extra' breast tissue in your armpit (umm... gross!) to make up the difference. Fascinating, huh? So they submitted the new weight back to insurance and it's pending again. Argh!!! When I called my insurance company they said it was pre-approved at the new weight and we were all set. When the doctor office called, they just told them it was still pending. Why is it that you can call insurance 10 times and get 10 different answers? Does this happen to anyone else? I guess they technically have 15 days from submission to come up with the pre-authorization. That would give them until the 25th to make their decision. Argh!!! The gal at the surgeon's office said everything looks good. She is pretty convinced that we're approved at the new weight. So... they set up all the pre-surgery stuff and I go in the day before to do something (I'm not sure what). I feel a lot better, but I'm still a little unsure as to whether or not it's all going to happen. They sure do make it hard on a gal.
