I have been approved for wls for 3 months. Why can't I get a surgery date?

I am just about at my wits end. I have been approved for wls since July & I cannot get a date scheduled from the nurse who is the ONLY one who does the scheduling. I call & talk to her on a weekly basis & she tells me she will call me back in a day or two & never does. This is getting so frustrating. She told me it would probably have to be in January before it could be scheduled & I told her that would be fine. But then I called my insurance company & they told me that a new benefit year will start January 1st & the whole process will have to be redone. They even told me there's a possibility that my husband's employer won't cover the surgery in the next year if they change their benefits. That scared me to death. I then called the nurse & told her I HAD to know if this surgery could be performed by the end of the year. She promised me she would call me the next day (which would have been last Thursday) & I have not heard a word. I don't know what to do. Should I go see another surgeon or does it normally take months to finally get a surgery date after you have been approved?
