Yes, our docs are in the same program. There is a personal connection to your doc that I wanted to avoid- nothing at all against his skill level :) I will call the office to follow-up. I guess I feel like at this point the surgery is done- it is not like they can take it back!

A question on a different note for you. Have you attended the support group offered by the hospital? If so, do you feel it is worthwhile? My insurance is also BCBS PPO (Messa) so it is good to read yours is all set- a good indicator for me that it is a simple fix.

I was wondering how your hospital stay was and whether or not you had a room mate. Of all the questions I asked, I forgot to inquire about private rooms
. Hopefully I will only be there one night. I did have a roommate. At first I was bummed, as I am a super light sleeper. Then after a bit I realized the staff would wake me up anyway! She was incredibly considerate- had the t.v. on all night, but barely any volume. Overall it was nice to have somebody to chat with a bit. I am not big on roommates either, but it was very doable.
They kinda wanted me to stay a third day, offered it over and over and over... I had nausea and a little trouble getting down much of the first full liquid meal. Also a little trouble with the spiromenter, as the hernia repair was making it tough to take deep breathes. I elected to go because I thought better quality rest would help, and that I would be attended to very well by the family. Good decision :)
Overall, the care was excellent and you have nothing to worry about on that end. I also have no idea of a private room was an option or not. The crazy thing? A patient down the hall had her dog there- WTF! Good little poochie, stayed in the room and I never heard it bark.. but eewwww!

, LOL 
However,
I would call, call, call until this is taken care of. Insurance companies take complaints from its members much more seriously than its providers. Hope that helps!
