I am in the same boat as you.  Had my scope yesterday and it seemed like it took forever for the day to come.  All the other stuff has been done.  Now it's just a waiting game.  During my telehealth, the people from the clinic told me I should be expecting to have the surgery done in Hamilton before year's end.  That seems so FAR away!
Anyone have any ideas if this is a realistic timeline, or is it prolly going to take longer??

Yes, Thunder Bay.  I'm not from there, but it's the closest site.  Was referred there when we discovered OHIP no longer covered trips to Duluth to have it done.  Did my orientation in November, had a round robin appt w the team there in Feb and had my telehealth in April.  Then the scope yesterday.  Now, I guess I wait.

Well I wish you all the best.  The staff at the TB centre has been wonderful.  Very helpful and professional.  I've had no problems dealing with them at all...all around a wonderful experience!

Wasn't aware there was another surgeon!  Maybe that will be good news for us!
Btw....was trying to add you as a friend and seeing has how I've only been on here for about 35 minutes, I'm not sure I did it right!  Bear with me....lol
