Does that ever happen? I'm assuming no because you would have been given a specific surgeon right? I just want to know so that I don't embarrass myself "calling for cancellations" and it's not even a thing haha!

I have been calling TWH for a cancellation every week for a month now. They tell me it is very rare...usually people will just be a No show! So I think in general the answer is not really.

I had to postpone my surgeon's appointment last May due to a work commitment so it does happen occasionally. I gave them a couple of weeks notice and had to wait around 2 months for a new appointment.

Thanks! I know it definitely could happen. I probably wouldn't call anyways. Slow and steady wins the race they say :)
