How long until they call me

Hello , finished all my appointments on Monday.

I was told I'd be at rounds today for approval. Was also told they would call me , not to call them. 

How long is it before they call?

Is there any flexibility I surgery dates.

My son is getting married on June 4th and would really not like to be on opti at the time.  Saw a number of people on the site who were given dates within two to three weeks , I was not expecting that?

Thanks in advance!

Good job getting through all your appointments! Are you at TWH? For me, I got a call for my surgeon's appointment about 2 1/2 weeks after being put in rounds, and my surgeon's appointment was 2 months after. Had my appointment April 1st, my surgery is June 13th.

I don't think you have to worry about being on opti during your son's wedding - there's still some time to wait.

Thanks for your reply. I am at TWH . I just about had a heart attack when I read two very quick dates on the sites. Even though I'd like to get this journey started when reality hits, really wanting to enjoy the wedding as well!

Losing the regain! I got this!

It is about 2-3 weeks. They will call you for surgeon appoitment. When I went through they gave me a few options to choose. My appointment was earlier in the day. Said as day went by the spots fill. Keep in mind that at twh the surgeon you see pre-op is not necessarily the one that does your surgery. You get whoever is operating on your day.

I'm so excited, I got a call this morning I have a surgeons appointment on July 15th at 1 pm. I thought I might  cry out of fear when they called but in actuality ( after I hung up) I cried out of relief.

I've been approved in a previous appointment for VSG due to arthritis will that make a difference as to who I get for a doctor.

Thanks as always ( your reply's to my crazy questions are informative and supportive, I never feel alone)
