how do I schedule surgery?

Debra, I had lap band surgery and used Dr. Wellborn. Everything went great. I'm feeling really good. I had the surgery late Thursday afternoon and went back to work on Tuesday. The biggest complaint that I have had is just being tired. But I know that is normal. I didn't take long to get approval from my insurance, but for whatever reason it is harder to get scheduled when you are insurance pay. I know someone that was self pay and had everything done in a month's time. Really, everything is up to you, the faster you get things in and the more persistant you are, the faster things move along. But I bet if you start everything now, you will be able to have the surgery in June.

You are right it is up to the person. I turned everything in and I started my process in March. I got approved on March 14, 2007 by the insurance company. I actually want to have my surgery before June but at this time that doesn't like it will happen. I am not worried, where there is a will there is a way.

Thanks Debra! I recently found out that I will be self pay so I hope that helps me to have a better say as to when the surgery happens. I appreciate your help! Karen
