Call from surgeon's office

[lizaelle 2]

I just had my appointment with my PCP and she said she'd happily send a referral to my insurance for weightloss surgery. Now I just have to wait for a call to set up my first appointment with the surgeon and I'm wondering how long does this usually take?

If you don't hear from them by early next week, phone you doctor's office...see who you were referred to, and give them a call, just to say hello and ask if they need you to fill out any pre-registration paperwork, ask directions, etc. I'm guessing you'll hear from someone shortly:)

I had my referral sent over on Dec 26th, got a call on Jan 4th from the bariatric services group, had my intro meeting on Jan 12th and my first class on Jan 16th. So even over the holiday time frame it didn't take too long.
