My surgery is set for january

[missymellie33 1]

I'm set for Jan 9 provided my insurance approves it! My paper work was sent in on Dec 4 and I am still waiting to hear from them. I hope they hurry soon I don't want to go thru the preop diet for nothing.

You have been waiting since December 4th? Has your surgeon's office called to get an update or least confirmed that your insurance got your request? I used to work with medical insurance companies. Might want to check on things and make sure no one has dropped the ball.

For anyone who has there pre op appointment' date=' how does that work? What is done and talked about in that appointment?[/quote']

My pre-op was EKG,Pulmonary Test which was kind of difficult to me,labs&EDG and my last appointment before surgery on the 7th is with anesthesia on the 4th.Why do I have to see anesthesia before surgery if anyone know?

[Queen In Me 36]

Well my doc told me since my labs was done over 30 days ago I have to have them done again, I've had my ekg, xray, physical and ultrasound done. So I haven't the slightest as to what they are goin to do...I'm excited tho...

You need to see anesthesia before surgery so they can assess you themselves to determine the best type of anesthesia specifically for you. A lot of the tests are done to determine that, what your lungs are capable of handling, etc. sometimes the anesthesia is harder on the body than the surgery is lol. Very important

Thanks for that information!

I'm scheduled for January 16th as well! My preop is tomorrow morning! I'm excited but also very nervous!! How long were you told to take off of work following the surgery? I have to let my boss know this week and still unsure of how long I should take off to recover...
