Cindy, it would be helpful to have additional information.  For example, where is the well located, Louisiana: section-township-range?  Texas: survey name and number.  If you have a lease that location description will be in the legal description of the tract of land.  Operator, what company drilled the well?  What parish or county?

The lateral still needs to be perforated and frac'd. It will not produce gas until that is done. The well has to be tied into the gathering system (pipeline), as well, and that is usually done before frac'ing. A gathering line has to be extended out to the new well.

How long does that usually take for all that to happen?

They aren't ever in a great hurry but 60 days is about par.
