I hope you are only panicking over making sure you don't oversleep. Panicking about the surgery should be ALL BEHIND YOU now.
Nothing dispels fear like knowledge. I encourage you to take some time this weekend to read through a couple years of past posts. You will gain a HUGE amount of knowledge (and encouragement) over a very short amount of time. When I first found FrankTalk, I spend a couple weekends just looking at thread titles and reading ones that piqued my interest. It was time well spent.

Re: Oh crap !!!!
Congratulations! Just went through the same, insurance didn't finally confirm until less than a week before my appointment. You get that "OMG this is really happening" energy real fast.
Best wishes on the surgery and recovery. I'm sure you'll do great!

Re: Oh crap !!!!
Which doctor did you decide to go with? Local or have to travel, and outpatient or over night stay?

Insurance approval came 4 days before my surgery date. From first consultation to surgery was less than 6 weeks & would have been quicker except for a delay with my primary faxing over his clearance.
