  1. I have been researching this option for myself for a few years now. I have wanted to have it done so badly. My primary doctor had referred me to someone last year and don't you know, the day I called to schedule my consult, I was told the Dr. quit the day before and they didn't know what was going on. Needless to say, I decided to hold off and I'm glad I did. There is finally a Dr/Hospital in my more immediate area that performing this surgery now. So, I scheduled my consult for next week. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. My only fear is that I hope my insurance doesn't make me go through a grueling waiting period for the approval needed. I think I have that covered with documentation from my primary, but right now, that's about my biggest fear. On average, how long did it take for you guys to get the insurance approval and then from that point, how long until the surgery was scheduled?
