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!
