In My OPINION .. he is amazing!! check out his website! https://www.drkreidstein.com/ he got rid of my c-section scar (mine was vertical) and gave me a new belly button!! i had no complications whatsoever!! and had to stay overnight because of the drive to hamilton from scarborough... good luck!!
My Humber orientation was Nov 9th and I got a call with my appointments Feb 9th -exactly 3 months later.
I got all 3 trio appointments within Feb because I was willing to split them up.
Dr. Glazer sent me for a sleep study and I have found out that I needed a machine.
Surgery scheduled for June 17 th!!
If I were you, I would wait the 12 weeks - call if you don't hear anything by then.
Hang in there. Hugs. I waited 18 months from referral to surgery.

Orientation was January 29th. It's been 12 weeks as I was told it would take.
The lady at the clinic was less than helpful. Wouldn't look up my file and just said it will still be a few weeks and they'll call me when I come up in the queue.
Its really frustrating especially because I just saw a woman in a support group who had orientation is March just get a surgery date all because she said she walked into the clinic and asked for an appointment after a week and they put her in a cancellation. (No shade to her because I'd be psyched if it were me). Just sucks to be blown off every time I call... which I've called just once a week for the past 3 weeks.
sigh 
I wanted to have surgery and be recovered before I have to go back to work in September. (I'm on an 18 month maternity leave).
At this point it feels like it's never going to happen.

Good morning everyone!! I woke up so hungry this morning (well I guess I didn't wake up - because that would imply that I actually slept), but anyway, I felt sick to my stomach is was so empty. Had a Premier Protein shake before hitting the shower. No gym this morning but get out for a walk at lunch.
Re-run of the blood work had me back in normal range for the things she re-tested. Have to go in two weeks for a full run again. WBC is low again. 
I don't recall being sick or fighting off anything.
B - left over pot roast
S - skyr raspberry yogurt, cheese
L - chicken, greek salad
S - meat stick and cheese maybe
D - taco casserole from a local caterer - when I ordered it I didn't realize it was layered with tortilla, I will have to dessicrate it to get my portion
Trucker is supposed to play ball tonight so if its not raining I'll go and watch.
Have a great day!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Thank you! I called two weeks ago and was told I should be called last week. No call. So I called again at the end of last week and the rude woman didn't look up my file, just basically said I will get a call when I get a call. 
I think I'm going to call again this afternoon! I should hear any time now!
