Have you had your surgery yet?

Nope not yet. I haven't even had the one day info session yet. All I had was the meeting with Dr B and that he approved me to have it. From what I know, the full day session will likely be in the Spring 2018 and then surgery by Summer. It seems to take a year from the time you meet him....crazy.

I was referred October 2013. My first appointment to meet the team was in July...I met with surgeon in September and I just had my afternoon session last week (Bathurst) and I am scheduled for the end of November. It is kinda freaking me out how fast this all seems to be happening now...but a good freaking out...well...mostly.

I hope you hear from your surgeon soon! Good luck! :)

I had my first consult October 2016 w/ Dr. Beausoleil... was told I'd hear about the day long info session in the spring, but haven't been contacted yet.

I actually did finally hear from the office early August. I had my all day appt booked for a day in September, but had to cancel and rebook as my partner could get time off from his work to go with me as he was travelling.

I had it rescheduled for Dec 1st, but they called me last monday and told me one of the drs won't be in that day...so they wanted me to come in for 2 partial days that week. I'm coming over from PEI so I'd rather not have to travel 2 days in one week. plus it was hard enough for me to get Dec 1st off as its a busy time at my work right now so asking for another day off isn't really an option. I asked if I could see the other 3 specialists on the 1st and do a Skype session with the psychiatrist (the dr who was going to be out), but I was told they book the drs in pairs and the other is physio so Id have to come over regardless.

At this time I couldn't rebook as my company is on a vacation black out til the spring, but the person at the office said if I could find a day between now and then I was able to get off, to give her a call and they would squeeze me in.

Such a hassle for those not in NB, its too bad they didn't have a team of docs that came over here once a month or so.
