Call your doctor ASAP and if you haven't already done all your pre-op tests, they'll send you to a bunch of tests...and than schedule your surgery...
I scheduled my surgery 5 days after.my.approval... it was insane.

I called my Dr as soon as I hung up with the insurance. (Oh and I emailed the Dr too)... So when they call me tomorrow I should be prepared for tests to be scheduled.... What type of tests?

The tests will depend on your doctor. I had to go for a blood draw, chest X-ray, EKG, and endoscopy. He also wants me to take results to my regular doctor for her to sign off on it.

Once I was approved the patient coordinator called me and gave me a date exactly two weeks from that day. If you haven't already done your testing ( my insurance required it before hand) you will have to get blood drawn, EGD, and a EKG and you may have to do a liquid diet. Best of luck and congrats

I'm waiting on the scheduler from my Dr's office to call me with my date and the date for my tests!!! She mentioned that I will have to do a endoscopy anf a gallbladder ultrasound. Are these test covered by insurance??? #EXCITED!!
