Average Wait Time
The Internist appt. was my last appt. I went through all the classes, meetings, etc... I had to see my Internist 2x. After my first appt. he told me to call the surgeon's office to book the next appt to get my surgery date. I didnt wait for them to call me - the Internist said that would take too long especially since I still had the sleep study and the 2nd appt with him to go through.
It really depends on where you're going. This link will give a good idea for each centre. You can add yourself, too, if you like. (My personal journey is in my signature block below.)
