Hi I just started on this site. I live in Spring (sure you know where that is from Sugarland), I am scheudled for my consult with Dr. Richard Collier (in the Woodlands). I am already ready, but you know this is what I have to do. I have been doing everything to get ready with insurance, other Dr. visits recomendations etc. How long would you say it took for you to get your surgery once you met with your Dr. and decided you wanted to do it. Congratulations by the way!!!!

Spring - absolutely...beautiful place to ride my Harley when i get back on my feet !!!

my doc took about 3 months - i had called before about insurance and once i found out that it was covered they went to work - they got all the docs together and submitted - very little back and forth - once approved i was the one who DELAYED - out of fear / aprehension - cant believe i was such an idiot for waiting - he did my gallbladder at same time - needed it out months ago but wanted to wait and do together.
you just need to make regular calls to the office - if they do this on a regular basis they know the routine and will "git r done".
