Waiting for your consultation
Can you still make all the appointments that are needed while you wait for your consultation.???. I want to be able to go into my consultation and come out with a date because i have already made all the appointments that were to be done.. this is something that can move the whole process faster if it can be done...
Hi Lady,
I was able to do that when I had mine done, most of them anyway. I called about scheduling appointments to see what kind of a wait I had. It seems to me that the pulmonologist was the one that was going to take me awhile to get in to see. I would say get your info together, call each doc ( make sure they are an approved doc for your surgeon ) and schedule your appointments near the time of your consultation. After that it should just be a matter of your insurance approval and getting a surgery date. Not sure what all has changed along those lines since I had my surgery. Can't hurt to call and ask.
Much luck to you in the process!

Maybe you can and maybe not. I do know they have a two class minimum for the St Francis portion, not sure about Christiana and these need to be done before you consult. They are one each month from my understanding, plus you need to find out what your insurance requires. Some require six months of documented diet which would make you unable to get your date until after you complete. There are alot of questions and maybe you may even change your mind on which type of surgery is best for you. I would go to your consult and take things from there, your surgery date will be here before you know it.
