So I'm going to HRRH today for my patts.  Do I go anywhere besides the patts office in the hospital? Do I have to make an appearance at the bariatric clinic? My appt is at 2 pm and everyone says its an all day event. That only gives me 3 hours till everything is shut up.

Referral - 12/21/12, Referral Received - 1/10/13, Orientation - 1/21/13, Met Dr. Hagen - 2/20/13, NUT, RN, SW - 3/13/13, Gastroscopy - 3/13/13, Dr. Glazer - 3/21/13, Pick-up Opti - 3/21/13, PATTS - 3/21/13, Surgery - 4/16/13

Not sure, its been a long time for me, but good luck! i know that when i just went for my 2 year follow up, they had things a bit more streamlined for bariatric patients, for bloodwork, that is. I don't believe i had to go to the bariatric clinic for anything.

As your have PATTS you should be pretty much done with appointments at the bariatric clinic I think.  My PATTS was at St Mike's but the bariatric program was TWH, so they were not even the same area of Toronto.  Take a good book, relax and enjoy the ride.  

If you're in a room and all the lights get shut off, you have been there too long!    JK  They'll put you threw before they close up!

Take the list of meds and supplements with dosages so they can tell you what and when to stop taking pre surgery of needed and any results for studies that have been done on your travels over the last year or two or at least the name of the study ordered and where and when it was done so if they need to access results they can easily (that will speed things up for you).
