Surgeon appt cancellations?
I have my surgeon appointment on April 7th. I did call and ask if I could get in sooner or if there have been any cancellations. I was told no ever cancels before the day of their surgery. And rarely then everyone makes their appointments unless they are on deaths door or a death in the family. She basically told me to forget it I am not getting in any sooner. This was last the end of February I called.

Hi,
It dos happen but veryyyyy short notice.
The nurse called me 2 Fridays ago asking If I could go in for surgery on the following Monday because someone didn't show for their PRE-OP...... which I find strange since PRE-OP is 2 weeks before surgery!!
Good Luck!

I called around 1:30ish. Totally lucked out!! My original date was March 31st, so only a couple of weeks ahead, but I will take it! I know another girl on the FB page had the April 7th and she took my March 31st spot, so you must have gotten her April 7th spot!
What date were you originally booked for?
