Ok Dr. Bour's patients: My husband and I are planning to take a road trip to Nashville, TN on October 21-23 to see USC play VANDY. I want to ask Dr. Bour on Wednesday when I have my consult with him if it would be possible to have my surgery scheduled for early september so I can be on solid foods when we are traveling. I would hate to still be in the liquids phase!!! Ok so the prob would be....my insurance packet has not gone out and I don't have approval yet. IF I wait on approval from the insurance I will not have time to do the 4 weeks optifast. Not to mention how slow they have been about getting pam's insurance packet out. Do you think he would let me schedule the surgery w/o approval and start optifast? I don't really know how to approach the situation with him. Any pointers would be appreciated!! I know Tonya only did like 7 days optifast. If I wait on insurance approval all of the september dates may be taken!!! Please advise. I really want to enjoy the trip with my hubby. We only do this once a year. Rachel

I doubt he will schedule surgery without approval unless you plan to pay cash if the insurance doesn't approve. His program is pretty regimented. It wouldn't hurt to ask though.
