Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 Hi Viola, That is great news for you! That is right around the corner! Did you do anything special to get called for this cancellation? I have surgery with Dr Reines in August, and I have been desperately hoping to get called for a cancellation. My surgery date is the week my childrens' day care is closed. I will suck it up and deal with it if I don't get in on a cancellation, but it will be very inconvenient. Did you send flowers, or call there each week, or anything else, or did they just call you out of the blue? - -- In OSSG-NewEngland@y..., churchv@c... wrote: > Hi- I received a new surgery date.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 - I have surgery with Dr. Thayer. I didn't do anything special. My date was September 11 and on Thursday morning I received a call from and she just said that there had been a cancellation and if I wanted to move up. I thought maybe I would move up to August or somehting and when she said next week tuesday, I almost fell of my chair. I had pre-testing today and have to be there at 6:00 a.m. on tuesday for surgery at 8:00 a.m. Maybe you get lucky. Just make sure that you are on their cancellation list and maybe you get lucky too. I really didn't expect this, at least not on such short notice. Good luck to you. Viola -- In OSSG-NewEngland@y..., " " <koneill@g...> wrote: > Hi Viola, > > That is great news for you!

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 How long is it usually from the time you go to the clinic and decide you need surgery until the surgery date. How long of a preparation is it? Just wondering looking into getting it if I can. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 It all depends on how fast your teeth move to the appropriate places before surgery. My Orthodontist told me it would be about 1 year but since my back teeth were stubborn and didn't want to move I waited a year and 9 months. What type of surgery are you having done? Upper/lower, ect. Tonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 good for you! i just have one question: did they inform you of the cost of this surgery? i just got a copy of my hospital bill - just the hospital stay (i have not gotten the bill from the surgeons yet)... $79,000.69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! granted, i was not the 'norm'... i had an open proceedure that also was a revision of 2 prior stomach stapling surgeries. my hospital stay was 8 days and included one day in the ICU (the ICU cost for one day was $10,150.00). my incision became infected and " exploded " so i have had a visiting nurse come to my home every day for the last 3 weeks to irrigate the wound... i have no idea what the cost of that will be. i am not freaking out because my surgery is completely covered by my insurance (thank God!) - i would NEVER EVER EVER have been able to have this surgery if it wasn't covered! i am estimating a final cost of well over $125,000.00 when all the bills are in and the dust settles. whew! the good news is that if you have your surgery done laproscopically, it's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less money. i wish you luck (and a winning lottery ticket too) deb 3/5/04 357/316/150 > Hey everyone, > I received word from my insurance company (Unicrap) and they are defenitely > NOT going to pay.
