EllaJo 60 Posted May 10, 2013 Wow! It took me about 20 min to fill out the questions. But it was pretty quick in easy! Guess I lucked out! So far everything has been do quick and easy for me' date=' I'm waiting for something to give!! When do you find out your surgery date?[/quote'] I wish it was quick and easy... Lol like I said not hard questions, but filling in 700 answer bubbles takes time. They sent my information to I durance yesterday... So any time in the next 6 weeks I should get a call to schedule it... I'm so nervous every time my phone rings... I started with my seminar in October 2012, then had my surgeon visit in November 2012, and my first of 6 nutritionist visits in December 2012. Now I'm just waiting...

I went to the orientation on April 18. As of yesterday I'm all set with everything as far as I know. I may need to get a CT scan but they were going to check into that. I am waiting for my case coordinator to email me my dates when I meet with the surgeon. I am neurotic checking my phone every 5 seconds to see if she sent them yet!! I am hoping for a July date, she seemed to think I'd be good to go by June. I'm a teacher, so I want to wait until schools out! Can't come quick enough!

I also have to get clearance from my PCP after insurance approval, but before surgery. I'm just glad that the last 6 month hasn't take too long. I just hope the days/weeks til I hear from insurance go by just as fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
May142013 74 Posted May 10, 2013 If you are in the DFW area, Merrill Littenberry is by far the best to go to. Shes more than just a therapist.....truly dedicated to healthy living.....mind, body, and soul. She's also a certified personal trainer and motivational speaker. Just love her!

Melanie757 36 Posted May 11, 2013 My psyche appointment is Thursday the 17th. I hope mine isn't long. I'm going to go pick up my pre registration papers on tomorrow so they'll be already done. The insurance receptionist at the Dr. office said after that and if all goes well she'll submit the paperwork to my insurance. Hopefully I'll have a June date. 2 newlife27 and miss_cee85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
