How long of a wait for surgery date?



Recommended Posts

I will be submitting my paperwork to the insurance company next week...then wait for approval (crossing fingers). How long after insurance approval are the surgery dates? ( i am aware they might be all different - depending on your surgeon, etc. but i am curious what everyone says)

I am self pay so maybe a little different? When I met my surgeon on 12/28 I got my date for 01/07. So i think it is just what is available. :)

They waited until I had met all the requirements to send in all my paperwork and I received my approval from BCBS in less than a week and half. It may have been 10 days. It's easier if everything is well documented and plus I had records verifying being Super Obese since High School even though they only needed the last 5 years lol! Just in case...

Next wednesday is my last PCP, everything else is completed and i already submitted everything to my surgeons office.

I also wrote an entire page of my diet history for the last 10 years. lol :)

I HOPE THIS GOES BY FAST! I think about the surgery all day every day and i started planning my life around the NEW SKINNY ME. ha ha

Dr. sent in paperwork, approved in 7 days surgery the following week. So about 2 weeks for me.

3 weeks for me because I have a 2 week pre-op diet.

I was selfpay. Went the orientation meeting in August. At the end of October they gave me a surgery date of December 9. I imagine it may have taken longer if insurance was involved. My surgeons office is a Bariatric Center of Excellence so she might be busier than others.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
