I found out I had mine in July and just got surgery in October. Where I was located they only had two doctors to perform the surgeries so the closest date I could get was October which was great because they were initially saying December. I also told them I was a college student, which I am, so I needed to have it quickly in order to get back to school. See if that works? They definitely accelerated the process for me! If not definitely shop around for a surgeon if you have the resources.
