Re: How long before I'm approved?

[Guest guest]

The approval from Dr. R can take anywhere from 1 - 2 weeks and then Barbara

can schedule a clinic and a surgery date based on what is available at that

point. I was surprised that available dates were as quick as 2 weeks away

from our conversation once I was approved. Good luck.

There is no real answer to that. For me it was less than a week.

Keep in mind that all of his staff is in clinic today so nothing will

probably be done today. Be patient - if you had your " ducks in a

row " everything will be fine - be patient - easy for me to say - I'm

now almost two weeks postop!
