Traveling after surgery

Hi All. My last appointment with my dietitian will be November 4th. I hear that November and December are very busy for Insurance companies and may not even be approved for over a month??? I'm hoping to go to Mexico on vacation January 1st with a few friends. I think I'm being optimistic, but if anyone can tell me some good news they have experienced with insurance companies or will I be watching them surf on the beach through social media? I need to have my surgery by the end of year because my insurance may change per HR.

      My surgeon said no travel/flying for 6-8 weeks. I was also they are super busy at end of year for those who have met deductibles. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Talk to your surgeon's office about the need for surgery before end of year - maybe they'll schedule you before your approval. At least get on the books.
