Hurry up and now wait

It seems like the last 2 months has been crazy running around getting all the tests and evals done for insurance approval. Now its all done and I just have to wait. I really don't like this part.

I started my research on hear over a year ago and then did my 6months of Dr. & nutritionist supervised weight loss before I ever visited my a surgeon. I spoke with the two that were close and made my decision after talking with some that used each. Its funny the one I chose was not the one with the fancy Bariatric office with all the support in the office. I chose the one with better surgery record. I can only feel comfortable doing that with this site. You guys have been so helpful and I plan to lean on you ever more as I go through all of this.

So a tentative date of December 7th has been scheduled pending Insurance approval. I hope it all goes through in time, I really want to get this done prior to the end of the year.

Thank you everyone for your prior and future help.

The waiting at the end seems like forever once you are ready. Hope the time passes faster than you expect. Good luck with your surgery.

I hope it goes super fast.  Mine went way faster than I expected.  I called last week and found out we were waiting on 1 report.  Then the surgeon's office called this afternoon while I was out and said they had all the paperwork in and were sending it out for approval.  They called back a few hours later and already had the approval, which was incredible!  I never expected it the same day, in fact didn't think that was even possible.  So my surgery is already scheduled in a few weeks.  I thought I would be waiting a few more weeks.  I pray you get your answer and date as quick as I did.  I wish you the very best of luck on it alaskan dad.

Wow, that is fast. I am hoping for 2 weeks, but would take faster. Good luck with your surgery. Hopefully I will be right on your footsteps.
