Talking Surgery to Schedule

My surgeon's office called me on Friday to schedule my surgery. Unfortunately they called on my cell phone which I had left in my car. I am waiting on pins and needles until Monday so I can call and schedule.

I really want to have this done sooner rather than later but I will have to wait until December as I have an audit in November that I have to prepare for and it will take me most of November to do so. Also my husband is going out of town for 10 days in November. Last I heard my surgeon was scheduling about 2 weeks out, do you think they will have a problem scheduling in December. How did your scheduling process go?

I pushed my surgery back to coincide with Summer Break for my Mom and kids. (My Mom watched the kids while I was in the hospital and stayed for the week with me...which worked out soooo nicely!!) I was approved in April and waited until June for my surgery. Good luck getting the date that you want!!
