Minniea,

Yes, I'm scheduled for another 10 dives after I have the work done.

I found out yesterday that my procedure has been approved by my insurance company. My ENT and the oral surgeon both wrote letters on my behalf.

I'm scheduled for next Friday. I'll let you know how everything turns out.

Regards,

John
