After being approved



Recommended Posts

I just got approved for the lap and surgery Thursday I was wondering how long after you get approved is a date set up. I am really hoping that I can get it done by February 14-16 I have the week of the 16th off. The doctors I hope will call me Monday. Do any of you guys think it's still possibly that I wil be able to get it then it should I not have my hopes up?

Thanks

It's going to depend on the pre-op requirements of your doctor. Some require a 4 week pre-op diet, some a 2 week, and some a single day. For me, I was approved on December 30. My doctor called on Jan 6 and I was scheduled for Jan 20. It went quickly! Good luck!!
