I got the OK from insurance!

Thread Starter  

AHHH,
Ok I'm nuts, I couldn't wait again, so I called the insurance company. And they said yes I've been appoved! Yippie! I hung up and cried for about the next hour. Missed up my makeup and everything!

The girl told me that Bobbie knows. So for all you Dr. V people, How long did you have to wait to get your date?
What happens next?
Do I see Dr. V again, I hope, before the hospital?
I really want to. I have scar tissue from my gaul blatter surgery 18 yrs ago! It is straight up and down my stomach, big ugly thing. He told the surgery would take longer because of that, and be more challenging for him, but he could do it.
I didn't think to ask him if that means he'll have to do a complete open surgery. That really scares me, but I know I won't know the difference while I'm under, I just know the recovery would be tougher.

Something was messed up with my login, so I don't know if Sunset9 will be back or not..lol

Bye for now,
Dianne.....AHHHHHHH

Hey Dianne, Congrats...I know you have to excited. When Bobbi calls you to set up the surgery date, you will get 2 appts, a pre-op and post op appt. So yes you will see him again before the surgery. I actually saw him and his assistant durning my pre op appt. Be prepared to be there awhile, my pre op appt was @ 10:00 and it was @ 12:30 when I got out of there. I am sure it should take that long all the time but just be prepared. I had my husband with me.
I actually talked to Bobbie yesterday, becasue I was suppose to be scheduled for my fill by now and I hadn't heard from her. Dr V's other nurse is on vacation so she hasn't been able to schdulel anything. She said she should be back monday. Hopefully you will get a call very soon. I would call her if you haven't heard from her by friday. I have her number if you don't have it...

Good Luck....keep us posted!!!!

Hang in the Melissa....
