The waiting game ended today!

I am so overjoyed. I received a phone call from the doctors office. They left me a message and basically just said they were calling about my approval. I immediately thought oh no…they need more information. By the time I got the message to call back, the doctor's office was closed. I immediately called the insurance company and the agent was very nice…told me about how successful her gastric bypass was from 2 years ago. I told her I was worried that I wasn't gonna get approved and she don't worry…YOU'RE APPROVED. The date she gave me for my surgery was March 24. How do they come up with the surgery date? Do they contact the hospital to find out the first available date? Will the doctor give me a different date? I was hoping to be sleeved in February. M head is spinning right now….getting my list together so I can be prepared…. I'm really getting sleeved!!! Yaaaahhhhh!!

I just went through the same thing yesterday. My dr's office called, left a message and I called them back. My date is March 25th but I picked that date.

My bariatric coordinator told me prior to submitting my packet that they give the insurance company a date when submitting the pre-authorization but it can be changed. Maybe that's where she got the date from that was quoted to you.

Once you speak to the dr's office it will become clear. Congrats!!
