Surgery date

Hello, how soon did y'all get a date for surgery? Did you guys get a chance to pick the surgery date or do they give you one?

I have important dates during my estimate surgery date.

Thank you.

I was approved in a week and got my date 2 days after my approval... I got to choose my date

They called and asked if a certain date was good. For me it was, but if not they had further out dates. Some insurances once approved will allow the approval to be good for a period of time. My insurance approval was good for a year, so im sure youll be able to get a date that works for you.



I told the nurse after my surgery consult that only the 2nd week of May will work for me. She walked over to the schedule and made a note. She told me requests arent a problem but the paperwork can cause a delay if it didnt get submitted in time. We all have a life so I figure whats wrong with giving them a good time for me based on my schedule. Nothing wrong with that. I have heard where they would call if there was an opening to ask if you would like an earlier date. I guess it justs depends if your office is open to requests.

After turning everything in took about a week. My doctor only did surgery on Mondays and Tuesdays. They usually give you a quick date after your approve.

I got to choose my date. They had openings within 2 weeks - 4 weeks. I wanted to be the first surgery of the day (because of my anxiety) so they told me which date they had where I could be first and I decided to go ahead and take it.

I turned everything in Tuesday this week and just got called. The earliest my surgeon had open was April 26th. So to took it
