Reply to "Finally had his Tommy John Surgery"

my son went to the 1st doctor on june 11 had an mri on the 15th was diagnosed with a signifcant tear on the 17th first doc suggested 4 to 6 months rest and rehab with 50/50 chance of reinjuring it when pitching resumed. Went for 2nd opinion on july 10th and Dr recommended UCL surgery if son wanted to pitch in college. Had surgery July 26th. Turned out he had a complete tear so surgery was the only way he would have been able to pitch again and is now in 3rd week of throwing program. So to answer your question from 1st appointment to surgery date was about 6 weeks but only 2 weeks between 2nd opinion doctor doing the surgery
