welcome Nina. I don't know the timeline for Hamilton but you can see my timeline for Guelph on my signature line. Hope this helps.
CENTURY CLUB MEMBER at 6 months post-op.
Referral to Guelph Feb/13, Sleep study and all bloodwork and ultrasound May/13, orientation July/13. Nurse, NUT,SW Sept/13, 2nd NUT, nurse and SW, 3rd round and cleared for surgery Dec/13. Pre-op Apr 7/14, Surgeon May 2/14, Opti Jul 3/14, surgery Jul 17/14.
When you see Dr. Glazer (Internist). He is the Doctor that approves you for surgery so he will send you for whatever test that he thinks you may need.
I didn't think I had any issues with sleep either but he sent me for a test. I was mad that he was delaying me but it turned out that I had sever sleep apnea!! So better safe then sorry I suppose.
I'm going through Hamilton and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what happens at the internist appointment and how soon after that do I meet with the surgeon and get a date. I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I haven't seen topics about the internist so I'm a bit clueless. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Ohhhh myyyy! See what happens when I'm super busy. SORRY
Thanks for the response. I don't know which surgeon, I didn't ask to be honest. I just got a call saying they have an available date for the surgeon and I was too excited to ask who. At which step do I find out if the sleep study is necessary? Cause I don't have any sleeping issues thus far that I know of.
This is a great site with great information but there is also there is a facebook group for Humber River that is much more active then this site.
Welcome!
I t will be faster then a year. I just went through HRH and it took me 7 months from orientation to surgery (and that was including the wait for the sleep test). If you don't need a sleep test, you might even move through faster.
What surgeon do you have. I had Dr. Hagen and he was amazing!
Hey,
So am new to this forum and the whole gastric bypass procedure.
A little bit about my journey thus far:
Referal: Feb 2019
Orientation: June 2019 HRH
Surgeon: August 19th, 2019
Internist: August 12th, 2019 Dr. Glazer
So my question is how soon could me surgery date be? I know I still have to see the, nurse and SW but am just curious. I was under the assumption the process could take over a year but it seems sooner, am not complaining just excited and nervous I guess.
Any and all advice and information would help. Thank you
I was all messed up because your subject line was for Wednesday!! I need this week to be over and you just put me back a day! Lol
QOTD - I love going to all the summer festivals but since I purchased our trailer 3 years ago, I haven't been to much. I use to love going to the food truck event, Canada day event and farmers markets every Saturday.

Good afternoon all. I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.... I enjoyed my Saturday with my son and his gf at a local art/craft show along the lake. Sunday was yard work day and then Monday we started some new flooring which is still ongoing. The gym was busier than usual on Tuesday but not too bad last night so tonight I may just relax.
QOTD: Do you do the local shows/festivals through the summer months and what is your favorite type. I really enjoyed this art/craft show even though all we walked out was some SF jam.
B - triple zero peach yogurt (blah isn't too flavorful but i have 3 more to eat)
S - boiled egg

S - SF apple sauce
D - protein shake
