What Comes After Orientation?
I have my orientation on Monday at HRRH. Just wondering what happens next? Do they book more appointments with you there or do they call later? How much later? I am so excited to begin this journey I can hardly contain myself. Anxious to know how it all goes down. I'm praying my surgery happens in the next few months as it seems to have been really quick for some. Any info on the process to come would be great!

the response above seems pretty accurate. I am doing step # 9 tomorrow and # 10 on Thursday :D, but before surgery I think there is a pre-surgical class that you have to take. It's what i've been told :)

Agreed with the above you can always call the centre a few days later !!! They may book you to see a few of the need people. you can not book anything at orientation if I am correct because most places that is at a different sight! Hope that helps.

Surgery class ! I knew I forgot something.
Orientation at HRRH is/was huge, they don't make appointments there.
After orientation, HRRH sends you a letter with your RN/SW/NUT appointments on it. If you are lucky some are the same day.
