how soon was your date after the ok

Mine is exactly one month from the date of approval. It all depends on the surgeon and their schedule, some people get dates a week or so out and some are months out. I hope you get a date soon. Good Luck!

I had my tenative date from december as i was still in the process of finishing my six month of supervised diet,My information was submitted to my INS company on feb 28th and i found out i was approved on march 1st...
It depends on the surgeon's schedule and the OR schedule. Sometimes the time of year makes a difference for the OR schedules. For example, school vacation weeks fill up quickly, so kids don't miss school when they have procedures done. It's hard to get the week between Christmas and New Years, I know that from personal experience. 
That said, I got a tentative date at the time the insurance was submitted. I opted for a later date so I could take a previously booked cruise first. But I could have gotten in a couple of weeks after approval if I wanted.
