Thats great! I'm sure she will sign off at your next visit and you'll be on to meeting Dr. Johnson! As long as all of your other paperwork is in, it should take about a week for them to give you a call to schedule your pre-op with him and then a surgery date!!! Dr. O'Malley could have gotten me in for surgery the week following our consult, but if you are on birth control, you need to be off of that for 4 weeks prior due to blood clots. I would've stopped taking much sooner had I known that :) The count down is killing me though....I just want it to be here already!!!

Thanks !! All of my paperwork is in .... She could have cleared me today as per my insurance I needed to have 2 visits . So happy ! You must be ecstatic ! Can't wait to hear how it all goes for you !

I took about 6 months. He is a very good surgeon. The hospital stay was excellent the whole nursing staff is great. He has a very good team from his office to the team that he use in the hospital. When he comes to see u after your surgery he brings in the whole team that he use to help him perform the surgery. They come every day till u leave.
