I received my package from HRRH today. Orientation October 20.  I've lost so much weight (73 lbs) while I was waiting I am not sure I still qualify for surgery.

You need a minimum bmi of 40 to qualify if you do not have any co morbities.  There are lots of bmI calculators out there to figure out where you are.

Did you get a call first?  Or did they just send it to you in the mail?  I'm still waiting to hear ANYTHING from ANYBODY.  The only confirmation I have, is that my Dr. said she put through the referral.

Patience is not my strong suit :)

According to the Bariatric Registry website, and my postal code, I will be going to HRRH too.

My Dr sent my referral in in March. After 6 weeks the Dr office called the registry and they did not have the referral. My Dr sent in another referral in mid April. I did not hear from anyone until I received the package in the mail yesterday. It took almost 5 months from the second referral to getting my orientation date (October 20).

I'm in London and going to St Joes, Hamilton.

From my referral in mid February 2013, it took 6 months before I got noticed of my orientation!

6 weeks after my doctor sent the referral I followed up with the registry only to find out they had nothing on file for me. I called my doctor and insisted they resend the referral. In 7 days my drs office called to say they received a fax that contained my orientation date/time and that additional info would be mailed to me by the clinic. It was 3-4 weeks before I received a letter in the mail from the clinic that contained the same details my doctors office had already provided me.
