Tentative scheduling?

[jembell01 129]

I have been reading some posts and see that some of you have been tentatively scheduled by your dr's prior to surgery approval. I have 1 but appt left on Dec. 8th, but everything else has been done. How did you get your dr's office to schedule you before completing the program? I really want to have my surgery before the end of the year because I've met my deductible already this year ????

Tenttive scheduling means pending insurance approval. If you have an urgent reason for having surgery before the end of the year whether due to having met the deductible or losing/changing insurance then you should make them aware of this urgency. Many doctor's offices will work with you as long as they know.

Thanks! I will call my dr office tomorrow and see what they say! ????

My surgeon is doing mine on a Saturday (12/12) for that exact reason. I've been approved since September 14th, but they are down a surgeon and are totally backed up. I'm so glad I let them know about my insurance deductible or I'd probably be waiting until January or later.

I'm definitely going to mention my deductible. I definitely don't want to pay tons more just because I was too nervous too mention it to my dr's office lol

My last nutrition visit is Dec. 8th, so they are scheduling me for the 21st of December. That will give enough time to get the insurance approval back they said. @@Fatty McFatster

If it is December 21st then you are going to have a great surgery and be very successful because that is my birthday.

I totally understand. My surgery is next Friday and I view it as a rebirth and the start of a whole new life.
