Malka: We're all glad that you found the forum, too! The amount of information to be learned from others' experiences is amazing!

Regarding the insurance question, it has always been my policy to buy as much coverage as you can possibly afford, then DOUBLE it!

I'm sure your doctors will find a way to justify your surgery, so that you can get the procedure you need.

Good luck!
