Hey Cindy - Hamilton does not work that way.  You will be called with your surgery date - usually 2 - 3 mths away - depending on the OR schedules.  Sometimes they get extra OR time because other surgeons are on holidays.....  I had less than 2 weeks notice.

Good Luck - I know it is hard to wait - but your turn will come!

My surgeon appointment was July 8, 2011 and my surgery was Aug 14, 2011.  It all depends on the surgery schedules for the month.
