I know what you're going through. The months leading up to my surgery I had everything planned out and estimated my time for surgery to be between Nov 4-12, 2013. Ha!!! What was I thinking. I found out that I wasn't the only one having the procedure done and I had to wait my turn in line. I was frustrated at times because all my paperwork was turned in and everything was approved by Oct. 23 (consent form signed), but I still had this waiting game. My big day finally came around Dec. 3. All in all I had to remain patient until they called me for my surgery date. I know in the end everything will work out for you and hopefully you'll have your surgery within the 30 days of signing your consent form.
