    In my husband's case, he consulted with the surgeon and was scheduled for a pre-operation appointment and scheduled the surgery after that. It took 2 weeks all together. They may be able to get you in sooner if you keep having attacks. Hospital was able to provide pain killers for my husband's pain while waiting for his surgery.
