Getting The Final Appointment

[Mslnzee2010 83]

I started this journey March 29 it seems it's taking so long for me to get the final appointment. I have done all the test they require and the doctors office is saying they don't have them yet I can just scream right now I am so ready to join the sleeve world. Does anyone else have this problem?

I had a 3 month waiting period and then it took 4 months to get all of my paperwork to the way they wanted it. So in all, I had to wait 7 months. So you have me beat. Best wishes!!

It is definitely an obstacle course you really have to want to win! I thought I'd be done with my final weigh-in in June... may be nearing surgical clearance and receiving a date by the end of July... if I'm lucky! I made sure I got copies of everything along the way and have been personally delivering each test result and write-up to the surgeon's office. And still... there is always "one more appointment" to be made. Don't worry... we'll get there. The planets have to be aligned *just* right. ; }

I know how you feel, I've been waiting since last Monday for someone to call me back.. They have all my paper work and then some but are stalling on submitting to the insurance company.. Very frustrating!!!

Thanks baby girl sandy I feel your pain I did get a call but now they saying I may not be able to do the surgery b/c my A1C level is to high

I just posted about a similar situation. My surgeon's office got the paperwork into insurance for approval quickly, but now I'm having a devil of a time actually getting my surgery scheduled! It's getting very frustrating as I'm on day 8 of having approval but still no date.

Be persistent. I'm giving this ***** (lovely person) still 10:00 and I'm calling her again.

[Mslnzee2010 83]

Kczar I finally got a callback just to tell me my A1C level was to high so I have to wait 2 months and get it checked again in September so it looks like I will be having surgery later this year.

Finally got my surgery date whoop whoop October 17 the day I will never forget as the day that changed my life and put me on the road to health.
