Fall surgery dates, where are you



Recommended Posts

So this past Tuesday my case was reviewed and approved for the vsg! Yesterday I got a call from the surgeons office that my consult will be sept 25. Which is almost 2 months away. So I'm probably having my surgery in october. Or early November. This is def linger than I anticipated, however I'm am grateful that I was approved with no hassle.

Did anyone else have a big gap from approval to their first appt or surgery date?

Who else will be having surgery in the fall?

My surgery is scheduled for November 4. It was scheduled on my first office visit but of course it is pending insurance approval and clearance. I have to have my nut and psych done by Aug 20, my next appointment with surgeon, in order to get insurance approval in time. So far, so good.

That's great. I will get a surgery date on Sept 25. I have kaiser so I had to go through a 6 month preparation program first. I will be glad when all the wait is over. I was required to do all the testing and eval during my 6 months so hopefully there is not much I ill need to do before surgery. Good luck on your approval. :)

Congrats on your approval!

My first consultation was on Monday (July 27). I had my psych appointment on the 28th and my NUT appointment yesterday (30th). Now I'm just waiting on insurance approval! I hope it doesn't take too long :/

My surgery will on Aug 10th. I was scheduled 6 months ago when I had my 1st consultation. It's been a long wait. I met my surgeon in January, but had all these tests, clearances I had to go through. I finally received my approval yesterday. The wait is worth it.

I was finally approved for surgery last dec 22 and when I tried to schedule the procedure I had to wait till February 24 I was told the surgeon would be on vacation I thought wow for two months? Clearly I should have become a surgeon? Lol
