I am having my surgery November/December, should know the exact date this week. I have already been approved by my insurance just waiting for my date from my NUT.

Who's doing your surgery?

Dr. Nicholson at Baylor in Plano. Yours?

Dr Castro in Duncanville. I'm scheduled for November 4th pending insurance approval but the office doesn't seem to think there should be any problem with approval. I hope they are right!

Wonderful, I am so happy for you. Dr. Nicholson would not provide a date prior to approval, I guess it is okay though since I know it is going to happen now.

Approval was much easier than I thought though. I started a new job in April, which meant new insurance. I was very fearful about the approval process, got a call on Monday. You are Approved, I asked my assigned nurse how likely was approval. She said if you need it we want you to have it. I think most insurance companies look for their criteria and requirements to be met. You should be fine if that is all in place.

Plus your Dr. office wants you to get approved they are likely doing all they can and telling you the right things to do.

I am having surgery Wednesday at Baylor Plano. Dr. Kilgore. Have you gone to any of the support groups? I have been going to one at the hospital every week for the past several months. They are extremely helpful.

I am having the surgery this Thursday 10/23 at medical city by dr Barnes. Really excited and nervous at the same time but overall glad the time has finally come.

What did you find out?

My date is changed due to work! I will not have my surgery until after the holidays! So, January 28th is my new day!!!! I am super excited!!!

I'm with Dr. Barker, Barker Bariatrics. My hope is January at Forest Park Medical. I have a group diet meeting tomorrow and one in December. Everything else is done, I have blue cross federal by the way. I'm a little worried about my BMI since I'm required to show a 2 year weight history which was only 33.6 2 years ago, 36.6 now with chronic high blood pressure. Waiting till January will take care of the requirement hopefully! Look forward to staying in touch!
