Just had consult with dr rabkins

I got my referral from kaiser to see dr rabkins and am now just ONE step away from setting a date for my surgery. I have two questions. Does anyone know how long kaiser takes to release approval for surgery. I have to small children and I am worried about scheduling a surgery at the beginning of December  I don't want to be completely out of commission for Christmas. I am 37 years old and completely mobile now but I just want to make sure I won't be a lump for  Christmas. 

Excellent! Dr R is considered one of the best DS surgeons on the planet. You should be fine by the end of December if your surgery is in the first week. Good luck!
