How long do you think it will take from making an appointment with a PS for a consultation, to the date of surgury?  any example timelines would be nice of how it went for you

2-4 weeks to get in for consultation...2-6 weeks for opertaion.

Total...6-9 weeks or so. Better hurry, summer's almost here.

I found out about this site on March 20 or so, spoke with my mom a few days later, and had a consultation scheduled within a week or so.  My surgery is scheduled for May 24.  They did have a spot open on April 12 and May 17 but I couldn't make either of those.

Believe me, I count the days every day...36 to go.

okay thanks guys

i'm making an appointment with my endocrinologist because he was supposed to recommend me to a PS.. but this will take a few extra weeks just to get the recommendation to a PS, is there a way to just search for one in my area?

By the way, I'm in Portland, OR

It took me little over a week before I had a scheduled surgery date.

All of these timelines are SOooo relative !
It's all dependant on where you live !

In my city, it was 3-5 months for the first appointment and another 5 for the surgery.
