tmposton 49 Posted July 2, 2013 I have FINALLY been to the surgeon's office. I will meet the surgeon on July 31. They say that they want me to have an EGD with CLOTC done first since I have GERD. Their office requires a 6 month diet and you have to have 4 of their forms filled out before you can schedule at their office. So they are telling me that I can get the last one 2 weeks after the first and they will allow it. Then they say that the authorization will take up to 6 weeks to get from my insurance. Why does it seem to be hurry up and wait with this? Anyone else feel that way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mel959 8 Posted July 2, 2013 I hate this waiting as well. My last 6 mth appt is in September. I wish they didn't make jump through hoops like this. Doctor states surgery should be October. Cannot wait. I'm jealous of people posting july surgery dates 1 NotLookinBack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inarakatra 51 Posted July 3, 2013 I know what you mean! They hurried to get all the preop done and now I have to wait roughly a little over two months. :/ 1 NotLookinBack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
