Some advice on Hospital needed PLS
I am home from Orientation and it was good, they said I will get my next apts in the mail but of coarse I will call them next week as well.
One thing they did mention is that Windsor will referr you to which ever hospital you want out of
TWH
St.Joes
Guelph
So my question is which should I choose? Obviously the faster the better but anyone reccommed one over the other? And anyone have any insight on which one is moving faster along
Thanks for all the advice

they are both SLOW. They will get slower as the summer season comes and surgeons take off time for vacations. Guelph is booking consults into July/August ...I'm guessing Toronto is still a wee faster.... But patience is a virtue

I would skip out on Guelph just because of the 2 year wait time alone....I went through TWH and did it in less than a year from referral to surgery, but the wait list gets longer everyday. I have heard good things about St. Joes as well....just my opinion. I was willing to travel to TWH so it worked really well for me. Good Luck
The two year wait time? Perhaps for their bariatric program but this person is going to Windsor for that.

Are you intending to have RNY as your WLS? If you re considering VSG or DS I definitely recommend St. Jo's Hamilton as they approve these other surgeries more readily. If you're set on RNY then the fastest right now is likely TWH.
I had OHIP approved Duodenal Switch surgery with Dr. Dennis Hong at St. Joseph's Hamilton on March 7th, 2012. Want more information on the DS in Ontario? Send me a private message!
