I am in MA and have Tufts. I was not doing a revision, but for me, it took about 6 months to go from first appointment (an orientation class) to surgery day. That was with some scheduling snafus thrown in along the way. I had already spent several years in the non-surgery program, doing nutrition and trying various meds.

Curious where you are going for your surgery. I started at Mt Auburn hospital and ended up at Winchester hospital because the Mt Auburn program shut down last year (hence the scheduling snafus).
