Go to the seminar - keep moving along in the process. I wouldn't let the letter discourage you! From that point you should be able to set up a consult with the surgeon and get more information.

I would also be checking with your insurance company and see what they require before they will pay for the surgery. I am self pay, so I moved through the first part of the process rather quickly.

Good luck!
