When do you get your surgery date?



Recommended Posts

For me, the first appointment was a general QA session with surgeon and several patients followed by private consult. Second appointment wasn't much of an appointment just walked into the office, signed surgery papers, and left. YMMV.

My surgeon didn't give me a date. It wasn't until I met goal weight, attended classes, met with the shrink and then my case worker assigned my date. She basically held the cards. But that's Kaiser, Northern California.

I just received an approval for the sleeve today in the mail from Highmark with an anticipated date of April 1. It was a surprise because I didn't know they had submitted my paperwork! It looks like it only took Highmark bcbs a few days to approve my case. I will be attending my last weigh in on Monday 2/27. I'm praying that they give me a date!

I know that they will schedule me to see the anesthesiologist and get a final blood test. Oh, and I have to have my husband come to the consent signing.

I'm getting nervous!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
