Approved by insurance

So my insurance company has approved the RNY surgery.  Of course I found out Friday afternoon of 4th of July weekend.  Argh!  I'm not sure if Dr. White's office will be open tomorrow or more likely they'll be closed for the holiday.  We'll see. 

How long did it take people to get scheduled once they were approved?  I know I'm supposed to have a PT evaluation before hand and possibly blood work?  I am crossing my fingers for a July surgery date.

First of all... congrats on your approval!!!!!......I am not sure if they will be open or not.. I know our support group was moved to July 12th.. so I dunno.... ...my story is a bit different than your.. I was scheduled to have surgery with Dr Lane on March 3rd and he resigned on March 1st... SOOOOO I called White's office on the 2nd and they scheduled me for surgery on March 15th... So .... they got me in QUICK!    =0)   that is just an idea!

Thanks Kerry!
That's way cool that you were scheduled so quickly.  I will keep my fingers crossed for a quick date as well.  I was told today that as soon as the actual letter is in their hands, Dr. White's office will call me to set an appointment.  Then at that appointment, I will be given a surgery date.  Let's just hope that letter comes in the mail ASAP.  The insurance company allegedly mailed it out on July 1st....so I'm hoping I hear something Wednesday or Thursday.  I'm going for a PT assessment tomorrow - which shouldn't be a problem - not even sure why that's necessary but at this point I just do what they tell me to do. 

congrats!!!! I am so happy for you !!! Hopefully everything will go that well with my insurance .I will be done with my 6 month supervised diet in August and then they can submit the request for RNY to my insurance company ...Best of LUCK to you!
