How is it you all got approve and right away got your surgery dates? I got approved then they made me do all the requirements like mam ekg blood work upper endoscopy and stuff. I just finished all that and now the only thing left is surgery date.. Feels like they made my process longer somehow lol =\ well anyways congrats! And I hope your transition to the loser bench is suer fantastic!

My doc had me do stress test and sleep study while waiting on insurance, then as soon as they approved, they scheduled the surgery, EKG, blood work, EGD, ultrasound of gall bladder, etc all at once (not same dates of course, but I got a bunch of dates all at once). Good luck!

I didn't. I was approved on Sept. 4th and didn't get a date until about a week after all my pre-op stuff was done on the 3rd of Oct. My surgery was scheduled for about a month and a half after that (my surgeon has a conference or something to go to which delayed it by a week or two). Each facility has its own procedures. Some give a date and get everything done in the meantime, others wait to make sure they have all the data b4 you're even scheduled.

Mines is on November 18. I'm excited and nervous.
