New and kinna impatient!!!

Hey everyone I'm new on this forum and really getting some good info from everyone... I had my referral sent in last week by my doctor and I'm really just impatiently waiting. I don't kno how long the process takes from referral to hearing from the hospital you will be sent to but if any one knows please feel free to let me kno. I live in Brampton so I'm not sure where ill be sent but im just excited to get this journey started...

You're in Brampton you say.

And which Bariatric Centre will your surgery be at? That will give others an indication of which timeline they can share with you.

 

I am guessing Humber River Regional, but I could be wrong ...

Welcome to the board!

Welcome!  We all have  been there in the new and inpatient department.     Once you know the hospital I am sure there are lots who can let you know what their experience on wait times were

I'm in Brampton and my referral put me in Toronto Western Hospital

I got referral letter Nov 26, 2012 which invited me to the Bariatric Orientation January 23, 2013. I just got an email today telling me my file will be reviewed by the team next Thursday. The next step from that I hope to get the appointment with a surgeon and then Opti.......

Hi. I am new to the site too....I joined a while ago but just started to really understand the information and positive feedback that is available.

What hospital will you be sent to? I am at st. Joes in Hamilton ad I found the process was quick for some but I had some issues with cancelled appointments and lost test results etc which delayed me. I had my orientation in October 2012 and am scheduled for surgery September 20, 2013.

Good luck!
