6/22/09 Met with PCM

6/23/09 Nutrion Evaluation

6/24/09 Psych Evaluation

6/25/09 Cardiologist EKG/Stress Test

7/10/09 Packet submitted to insurance for approval

7/13/09 Received approval

I am a nervous wreck right now waiting for the Peachtree Bariatrics scheduler to call and set up the pre-op class consultation and surgery date. I completed my clearances and submission and received approval in record time and was praying the scheduler would get to me quickly. but not yet. :smile:

I am sooooooo ready to move forward and feel like my hands are tied! I know Dr. Duncan stays booked but I actually requested Dr. Hobson hoping I would get a date sooner.

How long does it take to get scheduled after approval?

He is sooooooooo sweet and so full of knowledge...Eased my mind and my husband's (and he is a VERY hard sell)..My pre op appt is 7 27 09 and my egd is 7 29 09...My surgery is scheduled for August 5th...It will come for you but word to the wise....CALL THEM OFTEN!! GOOD LUCK and keep me posted!!!

I used Dr Duncan through the Real Results office in Dunwoody. What are your thoughts on aftercare?

[sadollar11 2]

I used real results. If I had it to do over I would have gone to Dr. Gorjala at Southern Regional where my husband went. RR office staff is awful, minimum of 2 hr wait for every visit. Chronic neck and shoulder pain since surgery. And I have spent maybe 5 mins tops with Dr Duncan since my surgery. It was a matter of convenience as simple as that!

[paula2468 7]

The appointment wait is just nuts and yes never see the doctor besides surgery. I really enjoy the nurse though. Does your hubby's dr take on patients from other surgeons? I moved and was trying to find a new aftercare dr but no one would take me

[sadollar11 2]

I actually perfer Dr. Hobson. The blvd. takes forever always there at least 2 hours!!!

Paula, I am not sure if he sees other patients. I have considered changing myself. I know Emory does not. Peachtree Bariatric is close to my work otherwise I would have been gone!
