mgillard 27 Posted September 9, 2014 I was hoping for October as I finished classes today but was told October was booked and so was November .. So October is out for me End of December or January If you have approval or pretty sure you are getting it, ask the doctor to put you on a waiting list. Sometime due to health reasons or insurance reasons cancellations happen and you could be moved up. Doesn't hurt to ask Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgillard 27 Posted September 9, 2014 I see the surgeon Thursday, Sept. 11th, I'm hoping for late October of early November at the latest. Wish me luck! Good luck!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgillard 27 Posted September 9, 2014 i expect to be sometime in October, but i won't get my date until after the insurance approves... which means after my endoscopy/colonoscopy next week, and after my last weigh in the week after, and after the surgeon's office submits me for insurance approval. the waiting sucks!! lol pre-op, i have to do 4 days of liquid only. The waiting does suck! Hopefully it will all move very quickly for you. I was stunned how fast my approval came back. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgillard 27 Posted September 9, 2014 I got my approval last Friday morning and got scheduled for October 21st. I have so many emotions, happy, nervous, excited, all of it. Now that I have a date it is getting more and more real. I have to do a two week liquid diet, that's going to be tough. I got my approval today and am also scheduled for October 21st. Keep in touch. Lets help each other through this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
