Just curious for the Edmonton clinic.  Once you had your assessment by the surgeon how long was it before you were booked for surgery?

I had my assessment with Dr. Birch on June 1 and do not have any issues that need to be dealt with prior to surgery and am told that it will be at least a year until I get a surgery date.

The clinic is telling patients 12-14 month wait but it really depends on your surgeon. I signed in September with Dr. karmali for veg and I have surgery next month (I was a cancellation) but I was still near the top of the list

As of May 2016 Dr. Kanji is saying that her waiting list is 6-9 months long as she is now booking in January 2017 and that's once you been in the clinic for a year meeting nurse, dietitians, psychologist etc. and all the "team" has signed off.
