Hello I was wondering if anyone has an idea how long the waiting list is for the consultation and then about how long after that do you get a surgery date. I am just curious. I am waiting for insurance approval and my consultation. Just wanting to estimate how long before surgery.???? I hope everyone is having a wonderful! Thanks in advance. Renee

Call Needleman's office and ask what his schedule is like. I know with Dr. Cook I was told it would be 4-6 weeks after my consult but the day of the consult I was scheduled for surgery 2 weeks later! Sorry to say I've heard Needleman has a longer wait. But I know it's nice to know what it is instead of having so much anticipation and anxiety. Did you see Barb for your nutrition classes?
