Hi all,

I saw the surgeon on October 1 and, given what other Ottawa patients had told me, I thought that I would have received THE CALL by now but I'm still waiting. Has anyone heard from Lana recently?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Call Lana on Tuesday! She is lovely to deal with and will probably be able to give you your date right over the phone. That's what I did! Good luck.

I called her last week. If I don't hear from her this coming week I'll call the week after that. Thanks (and yes, I agree, she is amazing to deal with).

HI Kayak Girl, 

I saw the surgeon sometime in September (Dr. Neville) and had to go for a second scope. I had to wait for the results of the scope to get my date. I got my date on the at the end of September and am just a few days away from surgery now. I know that dates might be affected by Christmas schedules? Probably they are booking into November now. I think it's always wise to follow up. 

Good Luck! Looks like you'll be soon anyway!

Surgery date is Oct. 17th, 2013 in Ottawa. I was referred to the clinic in September 2012. The person performing my surgery is Dr Amy Neville.

Hi There,

I called Lana last week regarding surgery date. Dr. Neville had said mid September that I should receive a call within 2 weeks but never got a call! . Lana refused to give me a date and said I was on her list to call eventually.  

If you get your date, please post and let me know how you did it!

I met the surgeon (Dr. Mamazza) September 16th but was originally supposed to be October 7th. I was told just because they call you to bump your appointments up doesn't mean you get bumped up for your surgery, the list still remains the same. (As per Lana). I called her end of September and was told by her that there are alot of people ahead of me and not to expect a call until mid to end of November. A bit disappointing but am using the time wisely:-)  I'm tempted to call again this week to see if it's still looking like that time frame but am shy....I hope you can post an update and let me know what she has to say for your surgery.

 

Good luck!
