Laura, I'm so happy your surgery was finally approved. I wish you all the best for your surgery and look forward to reading about your post-op recovery. My surgery is Nov. 30th, but is only one level ADR at L5/S1. I received a letter from my insurance company stating that mine is medically necessary, but have no details as to what is 'approved'. I'm hoping to find out more tomorrow; shouldn't I receive a more detailed notification of what expenses the insurance company will pay for? I'm assuming they pay for everything. If so and if I get it I will post it on the forum, or should I just email it to you? Take Care, Kim
