Waiting to hear from the surgeons office if I can have my surgery on the 25th. Was supposed to hear either last Friday or today, the wait over the weekend and still today (it's 12:36 pm in my time zone) is killing me.

Weird thou, did anyone else have a surgeons office who didn't do a preauthorization with the insurance company? It seems like I will be scheduled and the hospital will just put it thru the day before or so???

Yes the waiting was the hardest part but the not knowing if my insurance was going to cover would drive me crazy. My dr. Office didn't even give me a date until my insurance approved it and I paid any left over. But it all worked out in the end...no worries! Relax...

I got a date my first appointment. They still didn't send my insurance the paper work. The nurse said the doctor had to write his letter and that he will do it this week. The wait is stressing me out more then I need to be. Did they call you yet?

No call yet. I did get a call and got set up thru the Beaumont Weight Control Center for my post-op follow up and will meet with the dietician and exercise guy. Tried calling but the person who I was supposed to hear from yesterday was out off the office. I'm getting frustrated!! I have so much going on starting the end of September so I wanted to be thru the surgery and recovery by then. I am putting on my soon to be sister in laws bridal shower. Wedding is November 8th and both my son and I are standing up. My son plays travel hockey and I am the team manager so all that will start up. Just getting really irritated!! Thank God I kept the apt with the doc I originally wanted. If worse comes to worse I will go with him as is office seems to be a little more streamlined since they have a department designated to bariatric patients.
