...my date for surgery ???!!!
Hello all.... so, I was approved over a week ago... have talked to the insurance co. last week and this week, but have not heard from the Dr.'s office. I just left them a message to call me to set a date. People at my job are already scheduling weeks at a time off, I want to get my dibs in early. Because this is "elective" surgery, I can see the director telling me "NO, we don't have enough staff to cover during that time"... I'm getting antsy....
I agree...keep bugging them. I know I was a pain in my scheduler's ass because I was told Tricare would aprove within 24-48 hours, and I kept calling after the 48 hour mark. I didn't care, I wanted a date for that reason...I needed to set up my substitute!!

Hound them and even ask them if they can keep you on a stand-by list in case anyone backs out of surgery, especially if they give you a far future date Don't bring up "elective", my surgeon just gave me a note stating that I was scheduled for surgery on blank date. He didn't even say anything on it about wls.

I wouldn't call it elective surgery. Isn't for all of us, medically necessary? That's what I would say.
I'm so glad everyone else calls and pesters the surgeon's office. I am beginning to also and feel guilty. Yall make me feel so much better. It's just too exciting and I wanted my surgery yesterday.
