Expectations

[MOMMAMIN1 80]

Hi all! I have my consultation appointment tomorrow afternoon. I have already completed most of my insurance requirements. I have a phone call into the surgeons office as to what I should expect tomorrow.

I received a phone call from the nutritionist to schedule pre-op nutrition class for September 2nd.

Can anyone shed some light on what to expect? Does this mean that they are ready to schedule surgery? Nervously awaiting their return call.

Thanks for your input in advance,

When I went for my consult appointment with the surgeon, I also met with the nutritionist and she and I discussed current eating habits and what my eating changes would be. I was given a copy of the nutrition advice from the office and what the pre-op diet would be. She also explained the supplements I would be taking after surgery. I then waited for my surgery date once insurance approved.

Thanks @@ShrinkingPeach I am just trying to figure out what to expect. I didn't really expect everything to move so quickly I guess.

How long from consult until surgery date scheduled?

I believe my insurance has already approved and this is why I am scheduled for pre op nutrition on the 2nd. I just don't want to be caught off guard tomorrow with having to pick a date for surgery.

it took me 5 months to get from consult to surgery. My insurance required me to jup through a few hoops and my surgeon's office dropped the ball submitting my paperwork so I had a delay.

Good luck and hopefully you get a date soon!!

This process seems to be going pretty fast. If all goes well with my paperwork (which I did a lot of leg work on) I could be scheduled for end of September.
