The order my doc gave to the hospital says place binder on patient in pre-op hey...definitely good to know! When I saw that it helps pain, I wanted to make sure I have one. If they give me an extra, that would be good as well, but considering not being able to bathe for couple of days, I will probably want a clean one. 1 LadySin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syrina 13 Posted December 18, 2018 Well, I haven't talked to my surgeon's office yet, so it's not official, but I saw my approved pre-auth on my insurance portal and it's dated for 1/17/19 so I think I have a date!Should be starting my pre-op diet right after New Year's if I'm right. Which is nice, I won't be on the diet over my birthday lol. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 SimoneMonet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMarine79 150 Posted December 18, 2018 Talked with my insurance and they said I was approved with a scheduled surgery date of January 2, 2019. I chuckled a little bit when the insurance told me that. Because my final decision appointment is January 3rd with the surgeon and nutritionist. 1 SimoneMonet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because my final decision appointment is January 3rd with the surgeon and nutritionist. I just talked to my surgeon's office and they told me the pre-auth date is just a placeholder. Maybe yours is too?(of course mine may be accurate because that's the earliest I can do it since they require payment two weeks in advance and I can't pay until I have next year's FSA)Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
