mscarlar 19 Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks Bethzy. My hubby and I are both doing it. We found a doc here in Dallas for 10900 each. We go to see him in November. Jew are hoping we can come up with the and have surgery in January. That's our plan anyway. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethzy143 164 Posted September 6, 2013 So you got a date before the insurance got approved?? Mammecan....yes i did although my date was tentative for like a day until surgeons secretary got confirmation of the Operating Room of wether or not it was available for the days that my surgeon was available which were either the 10th or 11th for me and 17th or 18th for my MIL (my surgeon works out of 2 hospitals both the same but different locations maybe like 20 minutes from each other) and one of the hospitals has private rooms for the patients after surgery so we decided to go to that 1 (not having to share a room with anyone else and being able to have someone stay with you i think is a PLUS) and my surgeon also has access to the Robot (advanced technology) like he called it in that hospital to work with but i got confirmation of my date within a day and then my paperwork was submitted 2 days after and approved in less than 48 hours. 1 Mammecan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My hubby has been sooo supportive about the whole process to the point that he is doing pre-op diet with me and is loosing lbs really quick himself so thats been awesome and he wants to do liquid diet with me after surgery lets see how that will go for him lol gotta ♥ them and their support =) 1 AngiD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
