I am new here

Just wonerding if anyone out there was at the orientation class at HRRH on Monday Feb 22 in the afternoon and, if so have you already heard from the clinic with appointment dates?  I have a bazillion questions and I am sure that I still have quite the wait before me but thought it would be a good idea to sign up here and learn what I can.   Does anyone know if the VSG is condiered at HRRH? 

Cheers, Marls

I can't answer your questions - I'm though Hamilton - but I wanted to say welcome!!

Welcome, great to have you with us.
This is a great site to talk with people who have been or going through things you are. Great place to get your questions answered.
I'm going through Toronto Western (TWH) so I don't know how your appointments will work.

I can't answer your questions, but welcome to the board!  Good luck with everything.

I had my orientation at HRRH on December 2nd 2011, I now have the bypass class on March 9th, nurse, dietition, social worker on March 13th, and surgeion appt on March 15th. They told me they were booked that far from orientation because I was a smoker though, and had to be 6 months smoke free :)
Hope this helps a bit!

You've joined the right site. that's a great start :-)

I had a billion different questions at the start. I did find that the following book helped enormously. You can get it from the library, but I have it at hand even 18 months out.'



 

Thanks so much.  I looked at the library by me and they did not have it.  I purchased a book today at chapter but I do want to get this one as well.  So 18 months

Hey Marls! welcome to OH. I don't have an answer for you, with regard to the VSG, but just wanted to say hey.

Hey Monica,

Thanks so much. Ha, my surgeon consult is with Dr, Huynh.  Did you love him. 

i did like him very much, he's very personable, friendly, and very knowledgable. I felt totally comfortable with him, before and after surgery.

Let me know how things go.
