MojoCAMI 75 Posted October 12, 2015 I was informed yesterday that my insurance was approved for 11/19. I was a little bit scared after I got the call from my doctors office to schedule surgery and my final pre-op and all post-op appointments along with pre-surgery labs and X-rays but I am keeping my eye on the prize and looking forward to living a healthier life. Congrats!!! and i fully understand the feeling after the call.. I was happy I had a date, but then my brain said.."hey buddy this is it" and then I started thing about things I need to pack and questions I wanted to ask..but don't worry I think we both have about 4weeks to simmer down and focus. surgery date is November 2. Start my liquid diet on Oct 19th. Nervous but excited. Congrats!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TXMomOf3Girls 1 Posted October 12, 2015 I don't have a date yet but hoping to get a Nov. 23ish date...I am self pay and was told by my doctor's office that once I did all my prerequisites that my surgery could possibly be scheduled as early as 2 weeks. I only have my upper GI to do this week....I'm kind of hoping they find a hiatal hernia so my insurance will kick in for part of the hospital stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
