I had to bring a credit card as they filled out the form and ordered it, I was on it for 2 weeks and it cost me $159.60. Good luck on your journey. :)

Hi Sassy,

I had my appointment on Dec. 13/13 and my operation was scheduled for middle of January. I thought they would schedule me for around the end of March so I asked them if I could change the date so I could give my daycare parents a little more time to arrange backup care and they offered me February 3rd which I took. So hopefully you won't have too long to wait. :)
