Dr. Allen or Dr. Rodrigieze patients i have a ?

Dr. Allen or Dr. Rodrigieze patients i have a ?   For former or current patient of either doctor how long did it take for you to get in for a consultation with the docter?   How long did it take to get a surgery date?   i have medicare so i have had to switch surgeons due to Suburban not have Center of Excellence status. Since i have an appiontment on aug. 16 for my eval. for head and diet at nortons bariatric center downtown  i was just wondering how long it has taken other patients recently to get a date for surgery. Since medicare doesnt do preapproval and i know i meet all the requirments im not really worried about ther insurance aspect. I had already gotting most of that taking carre of with dr. shina before i had to switch Dr.s. i guess im more worried about having to wait 12-15 month for s surgery date. my co-morbids are NOT getting any better and all the weight is just recking havoc on my whole body!!!!                                                       Thank for any help you can give.   Chea
