Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Well any way it goes it may take a while. My wait time was 18 months. That is of course from the time I saw my PCM and asked for the referral and actually had the surgery. It actually would have been longer except someone got a lung infection and I was able to take their surgery date. I think it would have been 20 months if I had not been able. I think long waits are fairly typical. I know once I had the referral it was hard for me to find a surgeon as well. Mostly because right about the same time there was a huge rise in the malpractice premiums for doing this surgery. There were numerous doctors who stopped performing the surgery in our area because of it. Candi CANDI I know I can get it done on medicaid, it's just that finding a surgeon who will do it in the near future is the problem.
