Default Got my Surgeons appt scheduled

Well... they were right.. it was 4-6 weeks after my last scheduled appt. Four weeks almost exactly. I have an appt for August 8th at 8 am to meet with my surgeon. If you recall from an earlier post, they're backed up because one of the surgeons has cancer and is out for chemo and radiation until January.. God Willing. So, after that appt and final approval, it's another 4-6 weeks until surgery which would put it around mid to late September.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Martha,when I had my appointment with Dr. Johnson,after I saw him I met with the girl that sets up the surgery date.I had my surgery date even before I had my approval from the insurance company.

Hey Babs, I didn't realize you were going through the same pracitice I am. I know a few others on here that also went through Highland. I also have Dr. Johnson. Well, that's great that the surgery date is scheduled first.. that much sooner I can get on the calendar. Thanks for letting me know that.

Dr. Johnson is great,he will take the time to explain everything to you and he will answer all of your questions.He does not make you feel that he is rushing you.He also has a great team of assistants that work under him.

Martha I too went thru Higland and I was like Babs and once I met with Dr. Omalley I went down the hall and the schedule girl gave me date even before I was approved with my insurance company. I got the call about a week later that my date was a definte and I was confirmed with my insurance company.

Can I ask who is sick at the practice. I know there are 3 suregons in the practice..Dr. Omalley, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Omalley.
I just went back in about 8 weeks ago and had to have a hernia surgery and Dr. Omalley did it. But I didnt know there was any hold ups with stuff???
