Okay just checked calendar and last nutrition appt is potentially 11/25. In talking to my UMR Account manager, current pkg reviews are taking 2-3 days. Dr's office said they are scheduling for end of October currently which I know I would not qualify for. I am asking them to either make a plan for first or 2nd week of December or tell me they can't and I can plan my PTO as opposed to losing it. I am not used to talking to someone other than my doctor and I am being told I need to work through my case manager. I feel disengaged from the process and, at times, her emails seem a little "put out" with my questions. But this is totally foreign territory for me. Just feel very frustrated as my timing is so tight. I guess I want her to reassure me they will do all they can to make it happen.

It probably just depends on the surgeon's schedule. I didn't really care for the coordinator in our program, but I have just bit my tongue and have been as pleasant as possible, and it seems to work...she has become much more accommodating. I think I talked to her about 2 months before my last NUT appointment, and she went ahead and put me on the surgery schedule within 30 days of that last appointment. Good luck!
