Same craziness here. I considered going to a different surgeon but it would have taken much longer. I definitely will not be recommending them. What I don't understand is why they would not take better care of their clients?! They are getting enough $ out of us!

Just got my sleeve date of 2/13. Experiencing some anxiety but its all good....I think thats pretty standard.

Hi guys, I finally got my 2/13 date and I am doing quite a bit of self talk! Im reviewing some nsvs that will come shortly after the surgery, reminding myself of why Im doing this and telling myself I will be back on solids in several weeks. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS! Losers bench all the way!!!

Congrats Rainnh and heartonmysleevey!

Marie, yes I do have UHC and I will get a surgery date by Monday....or so they tell me. Lol

Thanks ladies!

Thanks ladies and congrats Jessica! Now to patiently wait for a date!

Yep, just happened to me today. Had a dummy date of Feb. 6th and no Im being told it could be different.

Just got approved by UHC! 5 days...

APPPPPRRRRROOOOOVVVVVEEEED! Yes! Whoop Whoop

IM APPPPRRRRROOOOOVVVVEEEDDD! Go me! Go me! lmao ....STOKED

Im still hanging in there Shayv. I was told to call back this evening after 6 but when i called I was told to call back Monday :-( it's all good. I just need to be patient. Thanks for the encouragement girlie!

Thanks Sheree! we will all be a part of the losers bench very soon!

I called ins today and was told my file was being reviewed at that moment and to.call back after 6! Fingers crossed!

Congrats sweetie2013!

So I called ins. today and I was told they are actively reviewing my file and to call back after 6! Waiting on the verdict! *holding my breath*

Sheree I have to agree with 2013newme regarding the letter from your pcp. They also agreed but it took them a month to buckle down and do it! And thats with me calling them regularly and dropping in!!!! I've been with them for almost 10 years and I love them but it was excruciating!

So, I have been very proactive about making certain all of my appts were scheduled well in advance. I've been in this process since July. Long story short, I scheduled my sleep consultation twice and both times it was cancelled with no advance notice and no valid reason. So I finally was able to get that appt knocked out weeks ago and now I'm waiting to have the actual sleep study done and these folks are dragging their feet. This is the last appt outside of my last nut visit on the 15th. I'm literally stalking the Sleep Health office and they aren't moving unless I am calling them. I finally have a study appt and now they are saying they don't know if my insurance will cover it. Back to the waiting game...so frustrated!! I keep telling myself things may be crazy right now but at the end of the day I will have my surgery...period! Its just delayed right now. *sigh*

Actually Sheree, my apologies...the location you are referencing is separate from emory/ Atlanta Medical downtown. My.bad!

Hi Sheree, I have not yet been sleeved however I am using Dr. Titus Duncan. I chose him as he is reportedly one of the best bariatric surgeons in Atlanta coupled with the fact I have relatives and friends whom have utilized his services. NOW, LET ME SAY THIS! I have been fairly disappointed with his office staff. Plenty they can improve on! Hope this helps.

Bmarion I do understand. You would think they were working for free the way they are handling things.
