Question:
How long before I get date?

I have been approved for surgery and was wondering how long of wait before I get a date for surgery? I had my consultation at BTC in Ypsilant with Dr. Lane?    — Shannon S. (posted on July 15, 2002)

Hi, I had surgery with Dr. Lane on 6/20/02. After I was approved they called me within 2 weeks to schedule the surgery. The surgery was scheduled a month later, but then they moved the surgery date up by 2 weeks! Don't be suprised if after you get your surgery date Dr. Lane moves it up, there are always changes in his schedule. You may want to call BTC and ask for insurance and let them know you have received your authorization letter. Your pre-op testing and your surgery date will be scheduled by the scheduler the same day. The reason they have so many changes in his schedule is because some people don't pass the pre-op testing. I am so glad I had Dr. Lane, I haven't had any problems at all and my scar is very nice. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Good luck to you!!
