When do I get my surgery date set?

I have been through the lab work and the consult. I have to see the nut and do the sleep test, but when do they set my date? I am self pay.

Usually this is done after all req. testing is finished.  They don't want to sched u for surgery and something come up from a last minute lab or test....

You will have to jump through the regular hoops with the appointments and testing BUT you will probabply be first in line when it comes to scheduling.  The reason is that there is no insurance hassel  AND they get the full amount up front.  Also, I think the physician makes less from insurance cases due to the negotiations set when a practice accepts a specific insurance.  I could be wrong about that though.  Good luck and I hope you get scheduled soon!
