Very annoyed with Dr bellows office!

Hey,
I am also a patient of Dr. Bellows. Im a friend of crazyduck's, I got my approval in and gave them a copy. I'm waiting on a phone call from Vanessa. I would love to talk to you. email me at [email protected] I want to give you my phone number. I have a million questions about the surgery.

HI everyone!,


Can Someone tell me how long it takes to get a surgery date from DR. Bellows I called Brooke in Surgery she says Surgeries are booked til December.


Thanks

took me 4 months........................this was a year ago. Don't know how it is now. But go ahead and see your md for a referral and a written letter stating that he wants you to have bariatric surgery, if you take depression meds, you will need to see a psychologist, if you have high blood pressure you need clearance from cardiologist.......................I had all these when I had my first appt.  The more you have done before your first appt should help you get approved faster, you will also need documentation of past weight-loss and how you have tried to loose weight. Good luck in your journey..........................this will be the best gift you ever give yourself. Sherry on here has a pic of what they want on here, she took a pic of the piece of paper, oh and you have to see a nutritionist and physical therapist, they need to write a letter of clearance also.

Thank you guys so much because of this forum and everyone sharing i had my first appointment on August 17th with all appointments completed. I recieved my approval on september 14

I am just waiting on a surgery date! Nobody called me yet just axiously waiting for that date. Do they take a long time scheduling?

Hi, I'm in the same boat waiting on a date with Dr.Bellows. I can't wait to get this show on the road. Vanessa told me she would let me know as soon as Dr. Bellows lets her know. I know I have to go to see the cardiologist one month prior to the surgery. And I will meet Dr. Bellows in person during pre-ops. Let's keep in touch add me to your friends list.

Definitely will keep in touch! Called today they r backed up til December...Just very anxious I will let u know if i here from them.

Still waiting on a surgery date,did you get yours?

Our surgery dates will be in Jan or feb.

would be so much better to have surgery after the holidays are over..............................after surgery this first few months you are only going to be able to eat a few tablespoons of food, and you will feel like a stuffed turkey.

U r sooooo right...lol
