I'm really lucky that I got done everything this quickly. (I'm at St. Joseph's in Hamilton)

Applied for program: June 6, 2017

Letter for orientation: June 11, 2017

Orientation: October 2, 2017

Dietician orientation: December 15, 2017

Nurse and ecg test: January 16, 2018

Abdominal ultrasound: January 30

Dietician was booking for May 2018 but there was a cancellation so I had the dietician and social worker on February 5, 2018.

Endoscopy: February 16

Internal medicine: March 6

I'm only 20 (21 in july) and i don't smoke, drink, have sleep apnea, or other issues so things went fast. My nurse appointment was only 10 minutes long and my internist appointment was 5 minutes lol. I was told it would be a good idea to call my nurse and let her know that i've been cleared and have all my tests done so she can get me my surgeons' appointment. I'm praying I get that call soon ??

Hi,

St. Joe's in Hamilton seems to be moving along at a record pace. All in all it's taken me almost a year and my last appointment (pre- op) is scheduled for Monday coming with surgery scheduled for March 17th. It took me 9 weeks to get an appointment with the surgeon. However if your schedule allows some flexibility, you can call the centre and ask if there are any cancellations.

Doing my happy dance for you
