I was seen by Dr. Glazer August 24th and my surgery was set for March 23rd. I luckily got on the cancellation list and had my surgery this past November 23. I think it depends on your surgeon as well. I had Dr. Starr

Someone else mentioned on another post they recently called hrrh and asked to go on the cancellation list and the nurse just laughed and said there isn't such a thing. So there is? Who did you speak with to get on the list?
I called Dr. Starr's (my surgeon) office and spoke to the receptionist. It's the actual surgeon's office you will want to call, not the hospital/clinic. Be super nice when you call. She said one person called and tried to buy another patients surgery date. It's pretty crazy.

Seeing Dr. Glazer has nothing to do with when your surgery will be. I saw him the week of my surgery, I already had my date and they had to move his appointment up.

You will be given a surgery date by the surgeon after you pass your trio.
If your surgery date is before your appointment with Glazer they will reschedule you. He gives you the final OK, but has nothing to do with the surgery date itself.
