Ottawa - How long until 1st assessment?
I was told seven to nine months from orientation to first assessment; it was nine months to the day. :)
My entire timeline is on the first page of my blog. It might be of interest. Welcome to the ride :)

Referral - March 2011 // Orientation - Ottawa - July 8, 2011 // Surgery - January 23, 2013
Oh my gosh so 4-6 is actually better than it used to be? Let me just say it is so unfair that people have to wait so long for this surgery, it is a really shame. I am just starting the process and am already frustrated.
Highest: 320, Surgery: 255 (Aug/14), Lowest: 132, Current: 167, Goal: 155
