after surgeon appointment how soon will surgery be?
My timeline for St Joe's is in my signature. When surgery day comes it will seem like it came really fast, just the waiting is hard. Good luck to you.

I had my surgeon's apptmt with Dr. Hong on Sept 15 and did my education class the same day. I have not heard about a surgery date but was told Dr. Hong was booking for late November so I suspect it will be some time before Christmas for me. I am awaiting an appointment for PATS that is the prep appointment prior to surgery.
There was a slow down over the summer due to vacation but St. Joe's added more surgical suites recently so not sure if the bariatric center got more surgery hours. I think they must have as Dr. Gmora is now doing surgeries too.
