How Long

[jack&kota 0]

How long should of a wait can I expect from the beginning tests till surgery? I would really like to have the surgery before the end of June but I think that is unrealistic. I also am a teacher and want to have my time off in summer to get adjusted. I would have started sooner but have been just had my third misscarriage in a year after going through IVF and it was the motivation I needed to do something for myself.

I am sure it depends on your insurance and your doctor. I was lucky - my first appt was 5/23 and surgery is 6/24 - so it can be done - I am a teacher too and had the same idea -get it done during vacation and be on the road to a new me before school starts again!

If your insurance doesn't require a waiting period, start contacting surgeon's offices. Some are scheduling months in advance and you'll need to go ahead and meet their requirements (psych eval, nutritional counseling, etc) before surgery.

Good luck.
