How Long Between Meeting Surgeon and Having Surgery
Hello Everyone,
Just at the beginning of the journey. I have my first appointment with the social worker next week.
I was wondering how long between your last appointment with the surgeon to the time of your surgery. I teach and the ideal time for surgery would be during a summer semester but if that doesn't happen I would need time to arrange for time off.
Did anyone find there was any flexibility?
Thanks
Barbara
Why not ask your centre this question next week when you are there? They are the best source to tell you what is possible. I have heard of some people having the process put on hold but there is no way to know how long the process will take once you start up again. Best of luck to you - I hope they are able to help. Take care
I was talking to someone at Guelph and typically I think once you do the post op class you wait an average of 6-8 weeks to see the surgeon and then after you meet them, you wait another 6-8 weeks for surgery.
