Hey Nadia,

I'm still pre-op. I met with Dr. Gmora via telehealth last week and he seems like such a sweetheart! I've completed all my pre-op shenanigans and now I'm just waiting for a surgery date. I'm likely looking at January or February. Any tips/advice you can offer about Hamilton and St. Joe's would be greatly appreciated.

Best of luck making it through the holiday season.

Dr. Gmora is pretty great. He has an excellent bedside manner. I saw him everyday that I was in the hospital. The nurses there were great and very attentive. I had constant nausea and my nausea meds were double-dosed every 3-4 hours. Again the nurses were great about calling Dr. G and it was changed to the higher dose soon after.
I would warn you to be prepared to do alot of driving around for parking. It's at a premium. You may luck out and get a spot in the parking garage, if not it's street parking and sometimes quite the walk. The fees can also get kind of high, as well. Like $20 for 4 hours, although if you go to the parking office you can get an all day pass for $15, but of course if you leave for a bit you lose your spot. in general my experience with St. Joe's was good, I just went back to Windsor because the drive is shorter.
Good luck and I hope you get you date soon! Any more questions, please ask.
Nadia
