Can people post how far out their surgery time was from their approval date? Most people seem to be scheduled 3 months after their approval. Also, did anyone use bcbsil?

I had all the requirements/ nut appts complete. Then was on hold 5 weeks for insurance approval. The next day after the approval, I got the call and was scheduled out 1 month exactly!

One week from the day they called to schedules but I was given up to 2 months out if I chose. I just chose the earliest date.
