There is a FB TWH but it is not used very much. It is called Toronto Western Bariatric group. The last post was in feb. You can see the wait time from my timeline. TWH uses 3 hospital - TWH, TEG, and St Mikes. Use can have surgery at any of these 3 depending on your surgeon. You will only find out at the end of the process when you get to see the surgeon. Once you get to orientation it is about 3-6 months to surgery.

Thanks :) 3-6 months isn't bad at all, assuming there are no complications etc. I've noticed in a few people's signatures there is a big gap between when they were referred to when they had orientation - is that maybe when the gov was making it a centralized process? Or is it common to wait that long? Seems like some people have whizzed through (relatively speaking) while other's wait has been ages just to get to orientation.
