Scheduling for certain time of year - how far out do hospitals/surgeons normally schedule?

This varies greatly by surgeon. Some surgeons may have availability within weeks, others it may be several months. If you have a date in mind that you'd like to schedule your surgery I encourage you to do so sooner rather than later to secure your spot.

Thank you for your question. Scheduling in advance can be tricky. If you are looking for winter 2024, you will book two years in advance. A lot can happen in two years! I'm talking about life, finances, and body changes such as weight fluctuation or aging. Usually, scheduling two years in advance is not common, but depending on your surgeon might be possible.
Also, hospitals and doctors have their own policies and schedules. So I would advise finding a surgeon (if you haven't already) and contacting them directly to know their scheduling policies.
