Awesome! I'm seeing Dr. Soliman in St. Joseph Surgical Associates. I'm praying that the 25th is the last time I have to giving before the actual ProOp appointment.

Your going to St Joe @@mrz.mott? I didn't know they did that there. I'm seing Dr. Sorenson and my app is the last 1 before the pre-op one just have to wait for approval from ins.

The surgeon's office called me today to remind me of my NUT appointment on Friday and I asked about getting me a firm date for surgery. The surgery scheduler put me on for July 11th like I was hoping!!!

But then.... I requested the time off work and was asked to reschedule surgery . A person in another dept has that time off and one of our people was going to cover for them. I asked them to reconsider, but I'm pretty sure I'm out of luck.

The surgery scheduler did mention an opening for May 31st, but getting insurance approval from May 20th (my last appointment) by May 27th would be tricky. So... if my work doesn't approve of my time off, I'm likely out until August because the surgeon is gone in June.

Crossed fingers that my work approves my time off for July 11th.

Hello. I'm hoping to have my surgery sometime in July. I've done all testing except for the psych evaluation and NUT consultation next month. My insurance doesn't have specific dietary requirements.

Yeah Dr Soliman is based out of St. Joseph Hospital, but he also performs at Menorah Medical, and that is where I have to have the surgery, per insurance requirements. And it looks like we might have our surgery around the same time. I'm just hoping that I get approved when they submit it on the 25th. My insurance is giving conflicting information.

I think I'm set for July 11th! My FMLA representative told me that my boss can't ask me to reschedule the surgery. I looked at all the time off for my dept and that date was fine, but apparently another dept was going to be short handed, so my boss wants me to reschedule. I think I'll stick to July 11th and let them figure it out. I hate to say that, but otherwise I have to wait another month or two. And little does my boss know, but one of my coworkers plans to quit in August. Eeek. So I want to have my surgery done by then for sure!

Yay! Congrats @@Rainy Days on firming up your date! I'm supposed to be moving out of state 4th of July weekend, but I'll be able to drive back and forth to my surgeon (about 6 hours each way) but this late in the game it seems silly to switch surgeons. If for some reason my insurance denies the first go-round, I'll look into switching to a surgeon in my new state.

Oh yuck on that drive! I completely understand though. My insurance only pays to in-network surgeons, and those surgeons are 4 hours away! My surgeon has really worked with me and arranged for me to have multiple appointments in the same day. My next appointment is for the upper endo and my last NUT visit. And my local PCP will be handling my post-op incision checks. However I still have to go back to the surgeon for periodic post-op checks. If I could switch to a local surgeon I totally would.

My VSG is scheduled for July 11th. I'm giving myself an early 40th b-day present. The gift of health!!

[alwest68 66]

Mine is my 48th bday present. July 25th. A couple weeks pasts my July 16th bday but close enough.

[tricialewis.118 2]

My surgery is scheduled for July 27th. I am having my lap band removed, and the gastric sleeve done. My insurance only requires 90 days, so this process is going SUPER fast.. Unlike my lap band process, which was 6 months..

Mine is also a birthday present to me, my birthday is July 24th,
