How long before you got your sugery date?

I got insurance approval on Aug 14 and I have the last of my tests (endoscopy) on Aug 26. they have not yet scheduled my appt with the surgeon to set up my date. How long did it take you guys to get a date after approval?

 HI It took approx 2 days with BCBS

Mine was totally on me and my surgeon's availability. I saw him on 7/20 and I scheduled the surgery for 8/10.

Good luck and God bless.

My surgeon was the first person I met with. I met with him on June 3rd and since I had all of the paperwork from the insurance company stating what they required for approval and I met his requirements we scheduled my surgery date right then.

I don't know how other surgeon's handle this process, but I"ve read lots of different stories. I would just ask them directly when you'll be able to schedule your date since you are almost through with all of your testing. If you have approval, they shouldn't give you a hard time. 
Good luck! 

3.5 weeks. I'm still waiting.
