:smile:There is a doctor and facility forum if you keep scrolling down the page. I found a lot of good info there, too. Good luck!

Hello....

My doc said in the seminar...if you are self pay, you can be 'on the table in 3wks...' I was under the knife 6 wks later but by my choice.

GOOD LUCK!!! It will change you forever!

I'm self pay also and was wondering the same stuff. Don'T they want you to have tests done and all that? Wouldn'T that take a lot of time considering other docs are doing all of those tests? I cant wait to get this done! My doc is so busy I made my appointment a month ago and he cant see me until late April !!!!!!!! Then if he wants me to see a sleep apnea doc and so on how long will there waiting lists be ? Just frustrated I guess

You can probably very easily get your tests done faster than you think. I had my mental eval and chest xray done on the same day. Different docs require different tests...I thought I needed a heart test (luckily I had one from the year previous) and I provided a copy to my doc and he said thanks...but I only require those if you are 50 or older.
