Is anyone else waiting for their orientation session at the Ottawa Hospital? I am hoping to have mine soon and was wondering how long people are waiting.  I was referred the beginning of August so it has been a little over a month and no date yet.

I had to wait two months for my orientation and I was told that was very quick. Some people wait 3-4 months for orientation.

I asked for my referral, and was referred in February. Then I got a letter from Ottawa's Weight Management Clinic (WMC) that invited me to an orientation in April. It took a few months. Hang in there.
