I am going to St Luke's hospital

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

@@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!!!!

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!

Thank you! Can't wait!

@@carolvalen I am changing my doctor to Sr Juarez. My other surgeons office is going through a transition and I am not interested in waiting for them to get their stuff together. How long did you have to wait to have your surgery after you were done completing all of your requirements? How long of a liquid diet were you required to be on before surgery?

I just finished my six month, already had my psyc eval and seen the nut. I submitted my info to insurance on Monday and they have 14 business days to approve or deny me. The six months flew by. This waiting seems like the longest part.

@@newbeginings85, when is your surgery scheduled?

Dr Sprunger. Has anyone heard anything about him?

Dr Sprunger

I am almost done with my six-month medical supervised weight loss plan with my PCP and if approved having surgery with Dr. Kurt Sprunger. Has anyone else used him? Has anyone had their surgery at St. Luke's hospital in Phoenix?

Thanks for all the info! I am definitely leaning towards the sleeve. I am so grateful to have found this site, I have felt so alone and lost during this journey. Love the support!
