Hi this is Tony I don't have a definite December day yet; but they are looking to schedule for December 26.

Very nervous since they are putting paper work to ins on Dec 14th. Cutting it very close.

Wish me luck. ????

Why are they waiting so long? Is this when your requirements are completed? If not can they enter you paperwork with a dummy date of surgery now and change the date of surgery after you have an approval, this is what my surgeons office is doing. My sx date is 12/12... They submited to Horizon BCBS on Monday with a dummy date of sx as 11/7... I have called my insurance and there is a pending approval with authorization number but it is just in the final stages of medical review!

I have to wait 90 days per my ins Aetna. I have done all of my testing already. Still need a few dr visits before the 90 days. I'm just hoping it gets approved.

My surgery date is December 6 and I go for my pre-op visit next week - have any of you guys received all of your pre-op diet instructions? So far, I have not gotten much guidance from my surgeon's office, but I am assuming they will give me lots next week?

I FINALLY had my follow up with my surgeon today to review all the referral appts. He said that they are now ready to submit to insurance & that he doesn't see any reason why I can't be in the OR in Dec!!! I'm so excited! I was starting to feel like it would be Jan or Feb... *fingers crossed!* G*O**D*E*C*E*M*B*E*R! lol
