Insurance approved me for surgery!!!

There was a little mix up when the lady called to schedule my surgery. When I had my consult I had told the doc that I don't do to well with surgeries, it takes me a long time to recover and the anesthesia really makes it hard to stay awake after they wake me up and I'm also an hour and half away from doc's office. So I asked him if I could please have it at the hospital and stay in the hospital overnight because I would just feel safer, not that I'm saying something will go wrong, but I don't want to take that chance. He said he understood and it wouldn't be a problem.

So when she called me for the surgery date, I explained it to her and that I was also going on a little vacation Memorial day weekend, she said not a problem that she would get me a surgery date asap or after my vacation for Memorial day weekend. She said I dont want to schedule it right before ur vacation or have u have to be on the pre-op diet on ur vacation because she wouldnt want to be doing that either. So she said she'll see if she can get it first week in May and if not then schedule it for 10 days after my vacation for the pre-op diet...she was really nice and understood. So I know I've been approved for surgery:thumbup::regular_smile:...just waiting on a date. :thumbup:

So as soon as I know the date I WILL DEFINITELY LET EVERYONE know!!!

Congratulations! I just heard the news that my surgery has been approved as well. I won't find out until I meet with the doctor on April 15 when it will be, but it's just one step closer. Keep us posted!

oh congrats! Its so exciting to know that you are aproved. I just had my surgery on Monday and I am so glad that I did it. Its hard to do the pre op diet and post op diet but I have been losing since I started the pre-op diet and I continue to lose on a daily basis. I know that it will slow down soon, but I am loving it!
