yes that sounds like quite a hard place. I wouldn't expect insurance to get back to you promptly. I know blue shield is still jerking me around just for seeing a chiropractor and it's supposed to be covered.
If you're set on getting surgery and you have already changed your meds it's a difficult train to stop. I had a similair problem and just decided to bend over for the man rather than deal with the horrible pain. Well I was wrong on both counts and to add to the difficult denial process I am much worse off than had I postponed the surgery. If you really decide on cancelling the op until insurance gets squared around then I suggest using an inversion table. I wish I had used it pre-op for the year running up to the surgery. I probably could've held off the op for 6 more months.
