<p>Hi yall... I'm listed for kidney transplant at two hospitals but I really am striving for a pancreas transplant as well. I have a referral at mayo in Jacksonville. I'm just curious how long does it usually take to get the evaluation?</p>

Hi @linnea84 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. @tjgisewhite is right. How length of the wait for an evaluation is different for everyone. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplants or pancreas only transplant. I did this so you can meet other members who are waiting or have had SPK transplants, like @nikkispk @2011panc @benlam11 @cehunt57 @tiffersann @jgloede9.

Linnea84, can you tell us a bit more about you? What led to your needing a kidney and pancreas transplant?

@linnea84, What have you heard about your Mayo referral? Is there any news about your evaluation appointment?
