pre-op anyone else just get done with preop appointments and waiting for approval?

[Mommie4 53]

That's so exciting !! I started researching about the surgery 3 years ago but finally got started on the process last month and have my last pre op appointment on Monday. I'm very excited for it to be the last appointment , and then after that point its waiting for approval which I hope doesn't take long at all !! I'm hoping to have the surgery around December time because i am in school and it happens to be my longest break .. I'm hoping that everything from Monday on out happens pretty quickly !!

I am in college and we only have Christmas Eve and Christmas day off, but Im planning on taking about a week off and just doing my work at home then going back sooner than expected because all we do is sit and learn, lol Good luck with all your stuff!! YAY

I know what you mean, I have been at this since Feb and I just got approved! Now waiting for my surgeons office to let me know if they can get me in before Jan, apparently my surgeon is a very busy man! lol

I hope I don't have to wait until January I was hoping to be sleeved by November we have a vacation with friends planned for January wanted to be done recovering so that I could enjoy myself with my husband and friends.

. I have been "scheduled" for 10/21 almost a month. At my pre-op appointment Friday my navigator says she'll call to check on approval. I was wondering what the wait was... Still haven't heard. Good luck - I hope you hear soon!

Im sure you wont have to wait till January, I do because I happen to pick the busiest surgeon around ( not knowing) and therefore, I am begging to be squeezed in! Good luck and hope you get in soon and enjoy your vacation in January too!!! And youre right, they rush you and give you deadlines to finish everything and then once you are done they procrastinate. Its frustrating actually!!

Congrats, they said someone would call me today but I haven't heard anything at all this drives me crazy not knowing what's going on.

I didn't get the call until almost 6 pm. It'll happen it kust seems like it takes forever!

[rmb2300 26]

Thanks for the encouragement I guess we will see tomorrow they closed at 4 pm yesterday they said the coordinator had already left for the day I just called my insurance and they haven't even submitted it for approval to them yet and tomorrow will be a week since I finished all my pre-op

[rls41998 91]

I still dont have all my pre-op done. I go dr on the 16th of this month and I still have my egd and pre-op labs. But on the plus side already got ins approval! I think the wait is the hardest! Noe that I'm so close it can't come soon enough!
