So it is taking longer for the nurse to call me to schedule the surgery then it was for the insurance company to approve the surgery. It took 3 days for insurance. I found out last Wednesday ( 1/29) that I was approved and the nurse still hasn't called me to give me a surgery date. I'm just annoyed!!!!! Anyone else have this issue?

My surgeon was scheduled three weeks out, so it took a while for me to get on the schedule once approved and I didn't like the delay but eventually had the surgery 12/11 and am happy that I did it. Better later than never!

Yes I’m having the same problem waiting on the nurse I called today to see if I was ready I was told yes going into the second week 🤯 maybe I’m blowing this out of proportion I don’t know my conscience is telling me to be abit more patient so I’ll listen to my conscience 😜

I get your frustration! I have completed all my appointments (last one was today) and I was really hoping to get a surgery date. Now they said the NP has to review everything and they have 2 weeks. I know it’s not the end of the world and two weeks one way or the other isn’t going to make a difference. But I’m disappointed today. I hope you hear from the nurse soon!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
