Good Morning OH Friends,

I called my Centre today and asked to be added to the Pre-op class 2 that I knew was happening this coming Tuesday. I had been expecting to hear from them but I hadn't as of this morning so I took the initiative to call. They put me in the class and they also booked my appointment with the surgeon the very next day. This is the final step before surgery. Things are becoming REAL! I am very excited and a little scared.

Woohoo; that's great news! I'm so happy for you.

It's normal to be both excited and scared or anxious at this point. I felt much better after I met my surgeon.

Take care.

Congrats! It's super exciting. My surgery date is/was about two months after I met with the surgeon (if that helps you with timelines for Ottawa).

Thank you that helps. They asked me if I was available for surgery in the next 3 months.

That's fairly standard. The timing of the surgery date was explained to me this way: "Probably not in the first month because of the prep you need to do, maybe in the second month if the timing works out and if there are cancellations, but definitely in the third month."

If it helps, my surgery date falls in "month 2" according to their time frame. (Which is about a month away..but who's counting?)
