Hey everyone, just look for some people to go through this journey with me!! Not many people in my life know, so it would be nice to have some support around me.

I am in Central NJ.....waiting on insurance. Sooooooo frustrating. Submitted 5/17, called my insurance company this morning and they JUST got the clinicals over the weekend. Up to now I have loved my surgeon and his staff but what the hell were they waiting for to submit the clincals? Talk about STRESS!!!

It is frustrating!! My dr waited 2 weeks before submitting to insurance, I did however receive my acceptance letter within days. I hope you will get an answer sometime this week! I understand how frustrating it can be. What dr are you seeing? I am seeing Dr. Nihalani in Edison NJ.

I used to go to college in Del! Good luck with your sleeve tomorrow.

The thing that makes me mad is that I know it was submitted on May 17th, I have a reference number and the insurance company confirms it was submitted on May 17th...so why submit without the "clinicals"....GRRRR!!! My doctor is Dr. Feteiha in Springfield.

YES!!! I have a dr appointment on Wednesday as well, although I may have to change it. I live an hr away from his office so at times it is hard to miss work and get up there in time, specially when his appointments are only tues/wed.

The waiting game sucks!! For me time was going by fast, but ever since I got my acceptance letter time just seems to be dragging on.

Omg they rescheduled me twice for this appointment I have to keep it I specifically took a day off for this... Do you have a date set up already.?

[Jacqueline Marie 73]

I think I am going to try and sneak out of work. The lady who answered the phone said, we will schedule my surgery date, and schedule a preop class. So hopefully you will get the same!! Maybe we will go to the same class.

What Time is your appointment? My pre-op class is on the 14th so maybe that's the one you're going to get they only do them once a month.

[Jacqueline Marie 73]

I believe my appointment is at 245. What time is the class on the 14th?

[KitKat40 100]

Okay my appt is @ 4:30pm ... The preop class is going to be like an Allday affair she told me like from 10 -3 something like that I had to take a personal day for that one ... And we have to take the class before surgery ...
