I am kinda frutstrated ......seems like this whole procedure is taking so long. 1/22/06: Informational meeting 2/16/07: took the phsyc test 3/30/07 meet with the phsyc dr. and went over test results...today 4/11/07 received a phone call my Dr. (surgeon) consultation is 5/15/07 and then they will submit into ins..and if I am approved I am looking at a surgery date of sometime in August:faint: .....Does it usually take 7-8 months from start to finish? I must of had different "visions" because I was thinking 4-5 months....I just hope my insurance approves this because after having my heart and mind set I really don't want to deal with not being able to do this. I know there is not set rule but I am just wondering how long others have had to wait....:cry

Thanks....

Sounds like your doctor is really booked up. You just have to stay patient. Good luck. I understand how you feel but mine only took 8 weeks.

I know how you feel. My insurance is taking there time. I guess they think we will just go away if they take forever. Hang in there!

I went to the meeting on 10/12/06 and got all my stuff down in early march and i just got the the green light from my insurance yesterday. I think I should know the date on friday. I thought my insurance would say no so I started to look for other options long time ago. It's alot of money but for what you get I think it's priceless.
