All prerequisites done - likely Dec 2019!

I had my psych appt today and she indicated no concerns. Met with the nurse and all medical tests are done and good.

Now back to the surgeon to sign off and then schedule. They told me it could take up to 2 weeks to hear back but an early December appt is likely. Anyone else looking at first or second week of December?

Well I have my date and it is Dec 31. Later than I was hoping since it would be much easier to take the time off in dec then January but they’ve co firmed if something earlier opens up they’ll call me. And at least I have a date and it is 2019 ?

I am scheduled for Dec 4th as of now. Finished all my prerequisites and just waiting on final insurance approval.

Yay a surgery date twin!!! I just told my coworkers that I’ll be out for surgery.

I do not want to tell anyone what I’m having done, but one of my coworkers found out. Now she is super passive aggressive because she’ll have to cover me while I’m out. I wish she wouldn’t have found because now it’s just annoying having to deal with her. My surgeon says I can return to work in 2-3 weeks after surgery.

I didn’t have any issues with Aetna and was approved next day!

Got my insurance approval today. Surgery scheduled for December 9th.
