He was horrible.
Anyway, do you have any advice for getting insurance to cover surgery?
Keep up with the good recovery!

Have your doctor's office put in a request for surgery. If Insurance denies you, pm me and I'll help you with the second appeal. My surgery took three appeals but I won. So -- Don't give up!
