Hey everyone,

I realize TWH is going through their annual backlog! LOL! Anyway, my surgeon appointment has been bumped up to Sept 29th! Yay! In the event they are still backlogged when I see them, does anyone know the up to date wait time for Guelph? I know it was 6 weeks or so back in January! Just curious!

Thank you in advance! :)

I don't think you can just switch on your own.. TWH has to make that decision if they are going to transfer files over there.... If you ask to switch... they might start you right back from the start... :(

That's great you got your surgeon appointment bumped up!!! Hopefully by then they'll have a solution in place. Stay positive. :)

Some people are

being told that TWH had a backlog too. It's crazy. I am

hearing both.

You dont get to choosw if you switch or not unfortunately. I was under the understanding they will not be sending patients elsewhere at this point. Looks like youre going to have to wait - itll be worth it

Hi There

I saw Dr. Bhojani in Guelph on August 3rd and he asked about booking me or August 23 or 24th for surgery. That was too soon for me so surgery is scheduled for September 12th.

Good Luck!

I honestly must have been blessed or something. I had Orientation in December of 2016 for Guelph, and got my surgery completed on July 21st 3017. I can't believe the backlog/wait times at some of the other clinics. Maybe I just got lucky with my timing.

Surgery: July 21st 2017 with Dr. Jules @ Guelph
