newme-in13 37 Posted May 28, 2013 Newme- I understand how you feel...there is a lot of waiting. I received my pre-op testing letter about 1.5 weeks after they received the approval letter from the ins. That was about 2 weeks after I received verbal approval from the ins company. What day did you receive ur approval? With the holiday yesterday maybe that slowed everything a little. I have my final pre-op appt on Monday the 3rd so wondering how long it will be for a date. I received my verbal approval on the 17th, and my actual approval letter the next day on the 18th. I guess when I look at it that way, it has just been a full business week. Lol. I can't help but be excited to move forward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitz 221 Posted June 3, 2013 I'm from Southren Indiana in Austin, just got approved Friday find out Monday what will be the surgery date will be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitz 221 Posted June 3, 2013 I will be having my surgery by Dr. Cooper in Seymour, he does the robotic surgery , I'm just glad it will be near home. Does everyone go through the robotic surgery?? Still waiting to find out when, I been trying to do this since January . I think they ran me every test the could think of, heart Cather etc etc etc. all my steps are done. But at the same time I wonder if its the surgery that will help me loose the weight and keep it off, and help me subdue my hunger. I hate having a plate stack up high with food, eating it and filling full but five minutes later I'm starved . I just hopes it helps with this, I been fight my weight since 2000, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm from Scottsburg and Coop did my surgery too. Due to scheduling, he didn't use DaVinci on me. Schneck is a wonderful place. I actually ended up having a leak (not his fault or mine, it was a faulty staple) and I spent a month in 2N. The nurses are wonderful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
