Had my last appt today with the team at Guelph. I am now going to be put on the list for the Post Op class, then the surgeon. but they said the wait is around 6-7 months. Booooo.
So now i just sit and wait for my letter to show up. Its going to feel like forever!
I hear you. I was there Friday and cleared and told it was a 9 month wait to meet the surgeon. I was told this by both the nurse and the nutritionist. I see you have been in the process longer than me..so I guess I really can't complain. But it is very frustrating...to just sit and wait. Well, I will just sit and wait with you, if that's okay. :)

Yeah. I have taken a little longer to get to this point due to other health problems that i needed to take care of. I have learned that everything moves VERY slow in this process. So i will just keep trucking along and wait for my letter. We can wait together! :)
Cool...and I am sure we are not alone..in fact I know of a few people that are over a 1 1/2 and still in the process. But I guess what other choice do we really have?
Maybe we can start our own bench on this side of things....a warm up bench so to speak...

Yep... waiting sucks. I am cleared and waiting like you too. Hang in we will all get there... lets just hope it goes as quickly as our summer did.

I called Guelph... It had been more then 2 months since I got cleared and I had heard nothing. I wanted to do a camping trip but didn't want to miss a call or appointment so I called them. She looked me up and said tentatively Oct 7 but it's not written in stone.
