Finally!

[LorraineC]

With the utmost gratitude to @DianaCox and @Larra I was notified that the DMHC overturned the denial, and was authorized to have surgery with Dr. Rabkin! My surgery date was scheduled for 3/3, but as of 1 hour ago it has been rescheduled for 2/23. I'm a ball of emotions right now. I can't believe this is actually going to happen!

Mazel tov! Congrats! Woohoo! Start getting as much exercise for your legs (walking is great) to strengthen yourself for surgery and the aftermath. Blow up balloons to expand your lungs. FIND OUT WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR STOPPING CERTAIN MEDS/SUPPLEMENTS, esp. BCPs! (We've seen people end up waiting to go to the OR, and getting canceled.) And breathe!

Thank you!

Congrats! And the earlier date is a good thing - less time for you to stress. Just do what @DianaCox said about exercise and deep breathing, get the house spic and span so you return home to a clean house, and you'll be all set.
