Who's playing the waiting game with me?

So, I'm approved and all my pre testing evals are done. Now I'm just waiting on the final appointment with the surgeon and a surgery date. From what I understand it could be another two weeks. Fun times.

I have my own waiting game too, mine with waiting for ins approval, also 2 weeks, sigh......

My waiting game is the next four weeks until surgery. Hopefully, it will go as fast as the last 6 months has. Good luck to both of you!

I waited FOUR long weeks for insurance approval...had myself convinced I was being denied. Finally approved after several calls from my coordinator to Aetna, surgery on 7/22.....trying to keep myself busy and not think about it constantly. Easier said than done. Good luck!

My waiting game is over 2 months until surgery. Patience is not one of my virtues.

I'm kinda on the fast track though since I'm self pay, no waiting on insurance to go through and no hoops to jump through. It took us 5years to save up for this and it feels so close and so far away at the same time.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm waiting on ins approval and a surgery date.... I hate waiting... Ugh !

my surgery is aug. 1st, waiting.............

Aug 5th

My waiting will begin Tuesday, I hope.....last appointment is tomorrow with the NUT.....and hopefully the surgeon will submit for insurance approval on Tuesday......and I'm nervous as heck LOL

I'm hoping to hear from the office on Monday or Tuesday on when I get to see the surgeon for the final all clear. I'm ready to rock n roll baby!! lol

Approved by insurance, had all pre-op testing, now I'm just waiting for a date... I may have one as early as tomorrow am, though.

I'm just waiting to see my surgeon for the first appointment still. Feels like it is dragging on forever.

Waiting on insurance to approve sleeve( the approve the lap band not sleeve because wrong paper work got submitted) then waiting on EDG, then waiting on my surgery date.. I'm so tired of waiting.. I started all this in January.. I am a planner so all this not knowing is killing me..
