Seminar in July, Surgery in September. From first appointment to surgery date about 60 days... but I was Really ready and VERY persistent... I probably drove the staff at the clinic nuts with all of my checking in and following up, but it's my health and I chose to take charge As my PCP said, they don't know who they're dealing with... (I should also add that I was always polite, upbeat and complimentary to the staff too...You have to balance persistence with being nice!)
