Got my tentative date! 6/27

[charley27 164]

I asked my coordinator if I can schedule a tentative date while we wait for the insurance to approve it because I start a new job July 1 and wanted surgery before. My surgeon is out of town the week of the 13th and the other surgeon is out the following week so the first possibility is the 27th. If they weren't going to be out of town for two weeks, it'd be earlier. Ironically, this is the same day I adopted my puppy last year

I met with my surgeon on Thursday 5/26, then met with the psych on 5/31 (Memorial Day was in between). I am going to get blood work and my EKG right after insurance approves... hopefully asap.

Anyone else 6/27?

Thanks! In a perfect world, insurance would approve tomorrow, I can have all my appointments on Friday and Monday and then surgery next Friday haha. But I doubt it

Not to be a downer, but have you thought about the possibility of not being ready to start a new job 3 days later. You should be off at a minimum 1 week, maybe even 2. You are very tired after surgery, and everyone is different, but you may have discomfort, it's probably going to be difficult, that's kind of cutting it close, please just consider this. Either way good luck to you, hope it all works out

I have, I talked to my boss and he knows and understands that I might start later
