How long did it take to get a surgery date ? I call the doctor's office every day hoping to get a date for surgery. Told the doctor is reviewing my chart. I do know that October is booked. Will I ever get a surgery date ? Is anyone waiting for a surgery date ? The waiting is the hardest part. So true

Tom Petty ! I am slowly losing hope . . . .

Dont lose hope!!! It felt like mine took forever too.. My last appt with my dr was 8/18, got approved for surgery on 9/5, and finally just got a call for scheduling last week. He is so far booked that my surgery date isnt until 10/20 which I'm trying to be very happy about but am a little bummed it is so far away it seems like. I would use this time to practice the things you will have to learn to do after, such as waiting 30 mins after eating to drink. And working on exercising more. I hate it. I hate sweating. But I'm slowly working my way towards it. I've been watching an episode of a show on netflix while im on the treadmill and that's been helping so far. Good luck and hope you get a date soon

Try getting approved in September and having an approval date of January 2015. I won't even have a surgery date til January and who knows how far it will be out then. I'm praying daily for patience and sanity. I feel like life is absolutely on hold so disheartening.
