Waiting for surgery date...

I've been waiting and waiting for my surgery to be scheduled. I am so upset. I haven't been sleeping (when I do I have nightmares) and I just wait by my phone all day for the call.

I have called them multiple times and always get some excuse... " we'll call within the week", etc.

I am extremely non-confrontational (nervous and sensitive) so I can't continuously call. :(

How long did everyone have to wait between finishing all pre-surgery requirements and getting a surgery date?

I really imagined I would have at least a date by now since I started the process in early December.

I had the same problem then now i change the my dr i am waiting to finished my paperwork at the new dr the said maybe in two week i will have date hun call your and said to them if they are to busy u going to look to another dr how can have time to u .. Good luck

Mine was turned over to insurance last week. I have been glued to the phone just waiting for word. I feel like I am losing my mind too......

Our Drs office gave us projected dates on our first visit (4/23). My husband and I are doing it together on same date. We have just finished our last visit with nutritionist/dietician. My husbands insurance covers surgery, which is not my primary insurance-- so I'm going through the waiting process with my insurance, who doesn't cover procedure, so we can submit to his insurer. Hopefully, everything will stay on track with that date.

Well must be good juju to post! Got my surgery date... March 20th!!!! I begin liquid on Saturday. So much waiting and now super fast turn around. So excited but also very nervous!!

You must be relieved to be able to plan ahead.

I called the insurance company this afternoon and found out that i was approved but the doctors office doesnt even know yet. Now have to wait for them to call me and schedule an appt with the surgeon. That appt is when i will get my date. Am hoping for mid april.

I started the process at the end of January and I was hoping that by mid March I would have a surgery date. Unfortunately, I still have to complete a stress test and then get cleared from my pcp. I am hoping that I get sleeved by the end of April. Fingers crossed ????
