At the beginning of my journey and I am already frustrated. Need to have my surgery done before Sept 1 because my insurance switches to Medicare and they make you jump through hoops for 6+ months. I am trying to get all of my specialist appts this month and have had delays getting authorizations from my insurance so I have had to reschedule my first appts with everyone. I know it's different for everyone but how long does it typically take from beginning to surgery date?
