Why do doctors give you a "Tentative Surgical Date"

Why do doctors give you a "Tentative Surgical Date" mostly on your 1st consultation whether you are approved or not and then ride it out almost to the date of your surgery and then you get approved and are in a oblivious rush to complete all of the pre~op requirments on time for your surgery? How in the world do you handle the waiting and nervousness of the weeks and weeks that go by with no word what so ever? Im going on 12 weeks and am literally going crazy waitng for that approval letter and it never comes? Vicki
