still waiting

I am still waiting for my surgery date. How long did you have to wait after everything was ok'd

Sorry you are still waiting:-( My surgeon actually scheduled my surgery before I got approval from my insurance company because he said they have good luck with my insurance company and didn't think we'd have a problem. That was on 8/23/07 and my surgery is 9/11/07. Not a long wait. I got approval in less than 24 hours after the office sent it. I was really lucky. If I was you I would call them every day and bug them until they give you a date. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. :fairy: Good Luck!!

Thanks Lauren, actually I have called and there are 40 of us waiting for the surgury. One of the surgeons had an accident and is out for 4 - 6 weeks so that leaves only two to do it and they are scheduling whenever they can get the operating room. Hopefully it won;'t be to long, cause we leave to go to S. Carolina for 3 months in December and I would like 6 - 8 weeks under my belt before we leave.

I only waited 2 days, I jsut keep calling everyday to get my date. I would call and ask for ur date it can't hurt. Good luck

I called my MD every day until they got tired of hearing my voice......only you, yourself, can feel and understand how important getting a firm date to work towards is.
