I'm just ready to get a date. Have my visit with my primary dr Wednesday and hopefully he will sign my approval letter so I can then schedule an appt with my surgeon and be able to schedule my surgery. I know I have to get some blood work done and a urine sample so I'm thinking I'll need another visit with my primary care dr before I receive that signature???? hoping I'll be able to have my surgery scheduled for next mt, too ready!!!

whoa bud!!!

in my experience it didn't go so quickly

you need that letter signed by doctor

then go through all the jumps, hurdles of insurance

after all is completed

then i think you will have surgeons office send to insurance for approval

now the above was what i had to do

maybe i misunderstood and you have already gotten approval??

doesn't sound that way

don't mean to rain on your parade

i think you have to slow down

if you meet the requirements, have the co-morbidities (msp)

you hopefully will "pass"

looked in dictionary for correct spelling of co-mor.....

couldn't find

my spell check doesn't give me the correct way to spell

any people that are "gooder" than me

take a bow

only being sarcastic, really

still love all of you, except....................

you know who you are

(only kidding!!!!)

hope you get your reply sooner than later

and surgery will be scheduled

good luck bud

I just went to the info class last week in Manteca through Kaiser. Where are you going through MzStockton?

My insurance already approved my surgery I been did everything I needed to get approval. Now all I need is my doctor to sign off. Not sure what he may request before doing so that's all.

@pd, I'm going to Memorial. I took my education class already. Actually I've done everything needed just need my doctors ok.
