I just had my surgeons office call me to schedule my surgery. I’m trying not to get too excited because there’s still a chance I can get denied by my insurance. I have done all that they need but you just never know!

Anyone else receive their surgery date before insurance approval?

It happens when the surgeon is confident that you will be approved. Also, surgeons need to have your information passed on so that the anesthesiologist and nurses can make a plan for your surgery.

Thanks so much for that info. I was really confused. That makes me feel better!

Not a problem. I had a date prior to my authorization.

I got a date as well. Mine is for June since that's when I'll have my final nutritionists visit and my surgery coordinator thinks I can do all the pre-op stuff soon after that. Now that I have a date, this process seems extra long! I want it to happen already lol. When is your date?

It definetely is! It will be here before we know it though!

I received my "tentative" surgery date at my final appointment before insurance submission. It gave us about 7 weeks to work with, and I was approved about a month before my surgery date. Hope everything goes smoothly... knowing that date is a huge deal! <3

UPDATE: I received my approval this past Monday. Surgery is this coming Monday. Took exactly a week to get the approval back. Time to join the losers bench very soon.
