They want you to stop smoking because it makes it so much more
difficult with the anesthesia. So it’s a good thing you’ve stopped
smoking. I know a lot of doctors will refuse to do surgery on
someone who is still smoking. You might call your insurance and see
if they’ve received the packet from the doc. Those packets can get
mislaid. A lot of insurance companies say they need a month to
approve, but if the packet is mislaid, it could take longer. Good
luck with your surgery!
