Nellie86 4 Posted March 25, 2021 Hello!!! I'm currently pre-op with Dr. Jawad. I started my initial consultation on 2/5 and my surgery was scheduled today for 5/28. My process went fast and smooth also quick approval with my insurance Cigna.I'm still waiting for the approval. Why they scheduled your surgery too far? Is it the first available?Sent from my Pixel 4a using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BDL58 86 Posted March 26, 2021 Oh shoot! I really don’t want to wait that long! That will mess up my whole summer semester of teaching Clinicals. Maybe they will get a cancellation. Fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BDL58 86 Posted April 8, 2021 My surgery is scheduled for June 1st. I didn’t want to wait that long but it’s probably best in the long run as I make the lifestyle changes needed. Keeping a positive outlook! 1 Becca4UFGatorGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seababe25 4 Posted May 26, 2021 You should see dr Wiljon Beltre in Orlando. I had my surgery May 12th 2021, now it’s two weeks later and I’m down 17 lbs & I’m in my 50’s. He’s great and has done thousands of bariatric surgeries over the last 20 years. He’s very confident and I was out of the hospital after only one day. His prices were the most reasonable of all. Good luck 2 Doing.this.for.me. and Lisa LoVuolo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
