Dr Juarez did my surgery yesterday at 8:30 am. I would def call and see what's going on!

@@highdesertblue, are you ok? Dr Juarez just called and scheduled me for your time tomorrow instead of 10:30. I hope all is well!

@highsesertmoon, I'm right after you at 10:30;)

I go 3/3!! This liquid diet is killing me. I have no energy. I spent 5 hours at the hospital doing pre op testing today, so glad that's over.

Thank you!!!!!

Today starts the first day of my two-week preop liquid diet. I can only have four protein shakes per day and can only use bariatric advantage. Bariatric advantage protein is so gross! I am gagging it down. This afternoon I got the worst headache and felt nauseous. How my going to do this for two weeks? When does this get easier?

@@highdesertblue My surgery is scheduled for March 3rd with Dr Juarez!!! My time is 10:30, I'd love to meet you at the hospital!!!!

Surgery scheduled for March 3rd, I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow!!! I'm so excited!

@@stacyehicks how long after you were approved by insurance did you have surgery?

@holly-wood. How long after you were approved from insurance was your surgery scheduled?

My experience is kind of a long story. I started off with a different surgeon and completed all of my requirements. My other surgeon is the one that submitted my request to my insurance, my insurance approved it and then I switched to Dr. Juarez. I had to resubmit to my insurance through Dr. Juarez, so I'm now I am waiting for my approval again. My insurance said it should only take a couple days because I was just approved. As soon as I get my approval I am hoping for a surgery date as soon as possible. I'm attending the 202 class next week on Thursday.

I am waiting for a surgery date from Dr. Juarez. Is there a reason why you're scheduled out to March 3 because I was under the impression he was only two weeks out? By the way congratulations!

I believe he has privileges but he is not set up for surgery or have a surgery schedule yet. He also has a two page list of people before me cause he hasn't preformed surgery since October and I am not interested in waiting! You might be far enough out that it may not affect you;)

Thank you! Can't wait!

@@newbeginings85 let me know if you need any help with finding someone if you choose to switch doctors. I am seeing Dr Juarez on Monday and I already feel so much better with his office staff.
