I went to my first visit with Dr. Cantor and he told me the wait time was about 2 to 3 months tops and I wanted I could the surgery scheduler and let them know I can be put on the waiting list to go anyday........ I am by far soooooooo excited

I have an appointment with Dr. Cantor tomorrow does anyone know whether his surgery schedule has got any better........ I hope I don't have to wait another 6 months *geesh*......

Dr. Cantor's office called me last Thursday and I have my appt with him on July 12th. I hope and pray the weight for surgery is not as long as I heard it was................ im truly excited

Wow Deevah, That's a long time....

Hi Toyia, Yes Im using Holy Cross. I dont know about a list as of yet because my appointment is on July 12th. But I did do the information classes at Holy Cross and in Dr. Cantor packet he stated that he wanted a physical,h-phyloric test, sleep study, and also an ecocardiogram done (I think that im spelling the tests right) but i have already did all those testing and my results were fine so Im hoping this will also speed up the process for me. How long have you been waiting or did you wait after the first visit with him. Im so excited because this is something that I have thought about for years.......

Thanks im trying to see if I could switch surgeons because I was informed today that it is about a six month waiting list

Toyia If he takes on more how does that make the wait time shorter

Thanks Lexusgirl, Now I did the sleep study, did the H plyoric test and ecocardiogram as well as went to two seminars@ holy cross had a physical too hoping that this could possibly speed up my process. I just got my referrel today for Dr. Cantor and believe you me I called member services and his office to update my contact info. How long did you wait for you first appt with him and how far out was or is your surgery date

I want to know who has Dr. Cantor through Kaiser and how long is or was your wait to have sugery once you were approved by the committee. Also what do I need to do so that I can possibly speed up my process...........

I finally got my referrel to Dr. Cantor................ im on my way

Thanks-Virtygirl, The waiting is so hard....... uugghhh

Thanks-Virtygirl, The waiting is so hard....... uugghhh

Thanks Tracy, i have nurse Zarba as well. I had my last nut class on June 2 and i think she told me that the committee meets twice a month but i havent heard from as of today keeping my fingers crossed for an approval. Ann

I have Kaiser Mid Atlantic and i use the Largo Center.... i was wondering whats the actual process and how long did it take for you approval from the committee once you finish the nut classes. Im trying to be proactive and get all the test that dr. Cantor stated in the hand out from holy cross. Please feel me in on maybe a time line and or what i need to do. I just finish my classes on june 2. Thanks, Ann

Thanks everyone......

Thanks Toya, I haven't had my appt with him yet. I just completed my six months options class and my nutritionist just submitted my paperwork last week. But my goodness that's such a long time. Do you know why it took so long?

Has anyone in the DMV had Dr. Cantor as their surgeon???? If so what was the timeline before you actually had the surgery

Please Help....... I have Kaiser Mid Atlantic and just completed their six month nutritional class and wanted to know if there is anyone else going though Kaiser and if so what is next. Also how long was it before you had surgery..... Thanks
