Lillian had her surgery in Mexico a few weeks ago, and is doing remarkably well!
They were so generous to assist her.  

Hopefully things will get better for people who go through this journey in the future.  It's the last form of acceptible discrimination in society, and it sickens me.

OMG I am so angry!  I just read the comments under the above article. Those commenters are horrible, mean  people!

I was referred to Dr. B almost 2 years ago and haven't heard anything from his office. Am I going to have to wait 10 years for surgery?

BTW, Hi! I'm new here. Looking forward to getting to know everyone :)

I am sorry to say that at present the wait is up to 10 years long. I hear a second surgeon has been added in Bathurst but the number of referrals keeps going up & up. It is hard to say how long it will really take. I waited 5 years & I had my surgery 3 years ago. If you want to know what your wait time is, call Natalie at Dr B's office. Just google for his office number.
