I'm waiting on approval for a 2/1 surgery date. Do u think constant calls help speed things along? I'll do it, but what do u ask them, if you case has been approved?

I am also in the same boat as in waiting for insurance approval. Surgery set for February 2nd, have secondary approval waiting on primary. Band to RNY

I'm waiting for everything to come together also. My healthcare team has told me to be ready by February 8, and that they are sure the insurance will be okay. I was told that this is common place in many cases, the ins company runs behind or drags their feet. Hope we all hear soon so we can put this niggling doubt to bed!!!????

My DS is scheduled for Feb 2. I've been on a general weight loss diet since September (put myself on it). The pre-op diet of liquids only is just 24 hours before surgery. Have a bunch of pre-op things to do tomorrow starting at 8am. It rained ice and snow for about two days here and our neighborhood has yet to be cleared. Hope I am able to make the appointments.

I'm in central Il area, and we got 4" snow only last week. It's starting to melt, but freezes at night. Good luck to you and be careful out there! I'm tired of winter and ready for spring. Snow might be pretty, but it also a pretty big mess and inconvenience!
