I read on here that somebody had surgery by my surgeon just recently. . No biggie right? Wrong. I have been waiting for about 2.5 months for a surgery date after my approval. The office told me that he had to wait to coordinate with the new hospital. it was going on for too long so I looked into a different office.. I find out tonight this lady got approved about a month after me and just got surgery yet I'm being told he's not doing them yet...? So mad! Guess it's a sign, huh? I'm going to call Monday and ask them what's going on. This is ridiculous!

Are you doing the surgery with insurance or are you doing self-pay (answer not required)? If the other person is doing self-pay and you are doing insurance, more than likely the self-pay person will be put on the schedule before you as there are no hoops for them to jump through. They won't have to go through the insurance's requirements; for example the 6 month diet period, or having to lose so many pounds... This might be your answer.

No.. I was already done with everything and was approved early Jan. The dr said they were doing zero surgeries and had people waiting since Nov. I actually went back and read other posts by this lady and found she did the same thing as me...changed surgeons. She ended up not going to the surgeon after all probably for the same reason I just changed too.
