Hello, I'm about 2 months pre op and wondering is the anyone else on here that's in my city that's about to change their lives ...

I had my surgery on June 3rd with Dr. Hungness and I'm doing well.

Glad everything went well!

How long after your 3rd class were you scheduled for your 4th?

It was about a month after my 3rd class that I had my 4th class. Everything is pretty much taken care of for you. I received a call stating that my insurance had approved the surgery and was able to schedule the surgery during the phone call. Once the surgery is scheduled, they schedule your 4th class and prepare your surgical packet.

Surgical packet contains the points that were covered in the phone conversation, date & time of 4th class, surgery date, follow up date and time with the NUT and DR. Paperwork for preop testing, and what to expect at the hospital. All of that went very smooth for me because I work there and didn't have to do a lot traveling back and forth.

Dr. Hungness is awesome and so are all of the nursing staff. Someone was always checking to see if I was in pain or if I needed anything. Plan to be in the hospital 2-3 days, that's how long he keeps his patients. I had surgery on Monday and was home on Wednesday. My drain was removed before I was discharged.
