      I booked in January, and had surgery in April, when I had time off from work. I could have had the surgery within a month though, if I'd wanted to.

    Hello I am a cash patient and had my consultation on Aug 27 and my surgery is scheduled for Sept 21st. It could have been sooner but I asked for the last of the month.

    That is very exciting. The hospital I'm considering is verifying my insurance I know it's not covered so I'm just "patiently" waiting on them to call me back.

    Was that because you had a low BMI? My BMI is 35.2
