How many pre-op appt with the surgeon?

Ok, scheduled to see Dr. Harrington on the 7th...I was hoping that if all testing was well, I'd get a surgery date that day, but I'm reading other posts and I see that others have several appts. with the surgeon? So I wonder, am I crazy to think I'll get a date next Thursday??? I'm going to the nut house for sure!!! I'm going crazy...each time I think I'm there, another step arrives! I know it will come soon, but today wouldn't be soon enough for me!

i believe the "normal" procedure is to schedule your surgery when you see the surgeon once your testing is complete. i think the only time that strays from the norm is when there are other factors involved [like an abnormal test, or like with me - the need for multiple procedures at a time, requiring more information than a typical pre-op patient]. i'd make a wager that you get your date on the 7th.

I can't really answer your question, as I am in the same situation. When I had my first appointment with Dr. Roye, even though I'm being treated for the bacteria in my stomach, I was still given a date. I guess everyone is different. Good luck! L It's a to the finish line now.

Does anyone know how far out Dr. Harrington is booking? It seems like most people have Dr. Roye.

Thanks girls! That made me feel better! I'm really, truely going mad! Thank goodness that we don't have our phsy. evals during our wait, thats all I have to say! i can make it to next Thursday..I hope!
