when did everyone get their surgery date? before or after they were approved by insurance?

Thanks.

Thanks.

My office wouldn't schedule the surgery until final approval from insurance.

My surgeon gave me a surgery date of 11/4 on the first visit! I thought that was strange!!! But it makes me happy because it's a lot easier to plan, having so much time in advance!!!

I'm hoping for a late October, November or December surgery date. I just did my psych eval today. My 2 other requirements are sleep study which is scheduled for 9/18 and also a 30 day follow up with my surgeon which is scheduled for 9/16. After I complete those then we can submit for insurance approval and get a date scheduled. I'm seeing the Surgical Specialist of Louisiana in Covington, my surgeon is Dr Redmann.

I just found out today that I'm scheduled for October 8th. I'm so excited. I can't wait.

I'm October 5.

I would already have this behind me, except for the fact that when I went to check in for surgery this past Monday, 8/24, I had quite a bad sore throat and a low-grade fever. The anesthesiologist said no way would he proceed. So I went home.

I am feeling tired, deflated, and using food as a drug again. I spent 2 weeks on liquid Protein and then 2 days on clear. Was literally starving by the end...and so ready for the surgery but...so I'm on the rebound. Don't know how to get my excitement for this and mojo back!

How do I join a FB support group, and is it private?

I am scheduled to have surgery on Oct 5, 2015 in Mexico (near Eagle Pass, Tx) with Dr. Alvarez. Have debated for a while about having surgery. I have to do 3 week pro-op diet, so I started early in order to try to ease myself into it. I have been drinking 4-5 Protein shakes per day and then having a very small regular supper. I have already started to lose some weight.

Jenny, if men are allowed into your FB group, my address is rasmithnm@gmail.com. Thank you!
