Surgery Date?

Hello,

I’m feeling super impatient haha I’m just curious after you completed your requirements for surgery how long did it take for you to get a surgery date? I just finished my last dietician appointment and waiting to start my Preop diet (I still need to lose about 20 pounds but my dietician says with Preop diet I should be good to go).

I know COVID has really slowed things down at the office. Thank you to anyone who shares or comments on this post

I literally finished mine last Monday and I got a call today scheduling my surgery for September 14th!! It goes by SUPER quick!

It took forever to get my date. Finished everything June 17th. Called the office beginning of July and they said I was on the audit list for August but they moved me to July. They did not send for insurance approval until July 30th and I got my surgery date on 8/19. Finally!
