how long did it take you?

to get a surgery date after your insurance approval? Just wondering what the differences were. I'm afraid its gonna take a long time to get a surgery date because my surgeon is the head of the department and his appointments were booking into april just for preop. The scheduler made an appointment for me because i work at the hospital and they try to get us through the process quickly she said. I'll see for sure in 10 days that's when i have my preop

5 weeks. My surgery is April 2nd

With my insurance (keystone mercy) 3months with all of the appointments sleep study, cardiac, nutritionist etc..... My consult was jan 27th got appointment that day for surgery April 16th time moving fast because of the appointments

When I received my approval they scheduled me for surgery about 3 weeks out. That left time for a couple final appointments and two weeks for the pre-op diet. Good luck with yours!

I scheduled my surgery prior to approval, all part of my plan. Total of 3 months.

I saw the doctor and they set it for 2.5 weeks out, but I had to wait a week to see him, so about 4 weeks or so...
