What is everyone's average wait time for a call with there next date after seeing the internist.  I just seen the internist on the 30th of May but the wait seems like a lifetime.

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.)
