Yes, what a bummer - i was hoping to find a surgery buddy around the same time...my checkout day is the 10th. Good luck with your surgery, 411angela - I will look out for your posts to follow your progress and journey.

I finally got to see the surgeon last Wednesday. I now have to play the waiting game for insurance approval too! I am hoping for an early-mid August date since I start a new job Aug 19! If not, I may have to wait til December dr said he would get right on it but as of Friday late day, he hadn't dictated the notes for the office manager to submit! I know he's busy but I am so hoping to get the surgery behind me and on to a newer, healthier me! Fingers crossed that I will join all of you August sleevers!!! The Doc seemed optimistic, the office mngr, not so much! still....positive thoughts....

I can relate. I started a new job the end of may and the same day I started work I got a call from the doctors office saying I was approved and could be scheduled for June 4th. Unfortunately because I just started my new job I couldn't accept that date and had to schedule for August 26. By then my vacation time will have kicked in and I will be off of the probationary period of the new job. Good luck and I hope you get approved quick!
