will i have to get insurance approved before i get surgery date ? or does it depend on surgeon?and can it take awhile to get a date?please share your experiences cause im surgeon is diff.

depends on surgeon. I got my date before approval.

ditto from above, I received my date about a month before I was approved.

I was approved before surgery date and started on pre-op diet. Guess ev1 experience is different.

I am waiting on approval and then will receive a surgery date.

Same here they would not schedule me until I was approved. The dr said that way they don't have holes in there OR schedule because something could be denied

just asked today i have to get approved first but he said they r pretty fast so i hope i can get approved i dont c why not i meet all the requirments

I to have to be approved before i get a Date. But they talked today like as soon as i am approved with in weeks i can have my surgery. They do preop one week on a friday then follow up with the surgeon on Wen then go in the next wen for my surgery. It seems like it wlll be in May for me which is disappointing cause i thought i would be approved by april. I so want to get this done and get my life started.
