still patiently waiting.. for

approval. my surgery date is the 22nd and i wanted to know if anyone here that has done surgery with doctor valin, did he give you a surgery date before getting approved?

No I got my date after I got approved. Hope this helps. Best wishes Anne B

Hi .. I actually got my surgery date with Dr. Valin after I finished the protein sparing diet and BEFORE I got approved.. From what I understand they have to submit a date of surgery to the insurance co. I hope all goes well for you .. Good luck

I got my date on the date of my protein sparing diet test results before my approval. Good luck, Maggie
