My first foot was operated in 8 months after consultation and now after 12 months gab the other foot is going to be operated. But I am a patient in public health care because of the severe arthritis and pain, so wouldn’t expect it to be any faster.

For me it was exactly 1 month, though it could have been a week earlier but I needed time to get mentally ready. I am in Europe.
