Hi, it's me, Curious again. I had my last appointment with the Psychologist on January 18th and am now just waiting to hear from TWH if I have been accepted and when I should hear from the surgeon. Does anyone have any idea how long it should take from the last appointment for me to hear back from them? On Monday it will be 1 month. Should I call them?

It was about a month for me.  After a few weeks I followed up with the psychologist (she was my last appt. and gave me her card).  She looked into it for me, and within a week I got a call.

I think it depends on how quickly they get a chance to review your file (only have rounds once per week).

Hope you hear soon!

Hi Julie, Was it Dr. Susan Wnuk? She gave me her card. This Monday is one month since I saw her. It is also Family Day, so they probably will be short staffed but if they don't return my call by mid-week do you think I should call her? I also have an email address for one of the nurses Wei Wang, should I email her?  I don't want to come on too strong. Or maybe I should? lol

I am going through TWH and it had taken 2 weeks to hear from them regarding an appointment with the surgeon. Was given an appointment two weeks later when they called.

I would definitely call the.

Thanks Joanne. Let's keep in touch on this forum. I did end up calling them this morning but only reached the voicemail. I have an email address for one of the nurses involved.  Do you think I should email her directly? Her name is Wei Wang at TWH.

Sounds great! If you have an email address, drop them an email to let them know you are still waiting for a call. 

Good luck!

I just finished my last appointment (Dietitian) at TWH and she told me that I will hear within 2 weeks and if I have not heard to call them.  They meet on Fridays to discuss patient files.

Good to know. I had my last two appointments together ( one at 11:30 and one at 1:30) on Friday, January 18th, so I gave them a call today and left a message on their voicemail. Hope to hear soon. Glad to meet someone else around the same stage as me at TWH. Good luck to you.
