Hi Michelle

I noticed you haven't gotten a reply yet, so I thought I'd suggest you post over in a more active section. This one isn't seen often because most people don't visit the "state" threads.

Here is a great place to start a new thread with your question. I bet you'll get loads of replies over there!

How long is usually dependent on when you finish all your requirements and the availability of your surgeon..

Preop diets are usually required by the insurance company. So whether you have to do one and how long you have to do it will be up to them.

Antsy is good, it helps keep you making those appointments. But don't get too excited, it sounds like you have some work ahead of you yet..

GOOD LUCK!
