HI Joan, no, I haven't had the exchange surgery yet. It seems the girls in my doctors office have not submitted the request to my insurance company! The request was suppose to be submitted a month ago!! Needless to say, I am heading to UCLA tomorrow to consult with another doctor in regards to my exchange. This was just the last straw in a string of events with this office!!! The dr. was great but not happy with girls in the offfice at all!!! So, yes, I am still in a great deal of pain! I just want these T/E out!! Hope your doing well. Keep your head up and smile on your face. God Bless you!!
