****Can you set your own surgery date?*****

Good morning everyone! Can anyone tell me if you can choose your surgery date once you have been approved? Just wondering... Thanks... Lisa

Lisa Good Morning, I know for mosttttttt, they ( the Dr's Office)set the date for you. and in most cases........ANYTIME works for most.....LOL At least thats how it was for me !! Good Luck !! Brenny

Lisa, For me, my surgeon asked me when I wanted to have the surgery. Well I said ASAP so he gave me the next appt or so. If you have something you need to work around I am sure they will try and work around it for you....just ask.. Hope you are doing well hun? How is it going for you? Debra P

Depending on your surgeon's staff, you may be able to suggest a date and they may do what they can to accomodate you - but I see in many cases, they select a date for you. In my case, I got approval about 6-7 weeks before I actually WANTED to have the surgery. My surgeon's office suggested a much earlier date and I was allowed to turn that date down and ask for a day within a certain week and got it. Good luck to you! Renee H. 387/246/-141

I was done with all my testing in Nov. I told my surgeon that due to scheduling conflicts I could not have my surgery until the beginning of Feb and that is when he scheduled it for me.
