Let's get together ppl!! I need a little support

Ok so I have a question for your December people. ..were your doctor's booked up or what is the reason it's two months out...I was approved in Sept but can't discuss surgery date til January. ..I'm so frustrated

Mine is an insurance thing. I started this process in June. My insurance requires a six month daily food journal and monthly classes.

Dec. is the end of my 6 month pre op diet..

Dec is the best time for work schedule. Always slows down just before Christmas and good time for surgery and recovery. Clients are more focused on Christmas activities, etc and not so much about productivity. January they come back with a vengeance. ????. Need to be well healed and ready to go by then.

December 4th.... Seems like forever!!

For me it's only because I have a month off between December and January. But I'm also self pay so I could choose whatever date I want. But I wanted maximum down time so I can recover

I am also a December sleever, I am so excited. I am just ready to get this started.

Yeah this month is the end of my insurance required D&E visits. Last one on the 28th I've had my preop meeting with surgeon a few weeks ago. As soon as my file is ready to go it'll be sent to the insurance. She said even though I didn't want a date in December to get it sent straight away so I can get the date I want. It's probably not the surgeons being busy but how many OR's available at the hospital. For this same surgical group I saw a surgeon on a thursday and had my gallbladder out on the monday. My Dr took a month off in May so I assume she works all December. I feel sure I'll get a date since I'm on track for a November one anyways and thus will have my pick before those on track for December but I think December is busy bc ppl want to get the surgery before the end of the year and the reset of deductibles.

I chose December because of my work schedule, however my doctor had dates available as early was mid November .

No date yet, but I'm most likely having mine in December. I'm a little bit nervous, a little excited, a little bit overwhelmed all rolled into one.
