Anybody have orientation in July and get there paper work yet? My husband is waiting and I want him to call but I don't want them to think he's going to be a pain and call for everything because I have read that people call and then they take longer it seems he's really needing this surgery for his health 100%

I am going through TWH, but in my experience calling is the best way to fast track.

For example.  My orientation was scheduled for January 28th, 2015, I managed to get a cancellation and had orientation Nov 6th.  By calling and asking about cancellations etc. I will have had ALL of my appointments done by then, and I'm meeting the surgeon February 6th, 2015.

He will not be a bother.  Call about once a week or so to check on cancellations.  I definitely was not disappointed :)

You have to be your own advocate.  Keep on it, there are cancellations galore!!!
