Feeling excited

I have my first appointment booked with the Bariatric team at st. Joseph's hospital in Hamilton. I guess I'm just wondering how long everyone had to wait for there surgery after the first meeting. I'm so excited and ready for a healthier me.

Congratulations!!! I just got my referral today from the doctor. May I ask how long it took from the day you got the referral to orientation date??

i received a letter in the mail about a 2 weeks after I had my doctor referral sent in. Good luck

Thank you ! I am excited but i want the time to fly by i am so ready. its giving me crazy anxiety waiting for the date to come most def i will update everyone!!!

I was referred to Hamilton in June 2017. Had orientation in October. Group nutrition class in December. Nurse appointment in January. Social worker and internist in March. Dietitian in May. Signed consent in August and am still waiting for the call for a surgery date. They estimated the surgery would be sometime in October. 15 months and counting.

Thank you. I know it's not something that will happen over night. But still very exciting. Your getting close. I hope you hear from them soon. All the best

i have been waiting as well for about the same. my surgery date is book for Oct 30, but I think it may be sooner because they have moved a few of my appointment sooner

Congratulations you must be so excited. I wish you all the best. Hope to hear some updates on your progress once after your surgery. ?

I also went through Hamilton. It was a total of 10 months from start to finish. I am now 5 1/2 months post VSG.

*hugs to all *

Wow 10 months that is awesome. I will keep my fingers crossed and the same for myself. I am happy for you and I wish you all the best.
