Do you have to wait til they see the films before you can get a surgery date? Did you receive your cost schedule?
I was just wondering how long the wait was for a surgery date.
Have you gotten your passport yet? I read it takes about 6 weeks to get one if you dont use some of the expedited services that they have. They are a bit costly but I guess would be worth it if you need one in a hurry. I did read that you have to have a travel itenerary or airline tickets etc to get an expedited passport through them.
I thought I would pass that along if you had not looked at it yet.
