Hey everyone! I've been on this board since about January and I finally get my meet the surgeon appointment on December 12th and I still have the second round blood work and post op nutrition class to go. Anyone recently had surgery in Hamilton know how long the wait between meet the surgeon and actual surgery?
thanks!
Hi there,
I was referred Oct 2017 to TWH and I just received my Surgeons appointment for March 22nd, 2019. I'm assuming it's abiut 2-3 months after that for surgery.
I've had my winter boots for like 15 years. The past couple of years I've looked for a new pair but could never find ones that fit just right (I have wide feet, and a lot of the boots were kind of tight on my lower legs). I just had surgery in Sept, so I'm hoping by next season I can buy a nice pair!
Hahaha. That is super funny and something I am looking forward to.
I wear a 12WW so it is quite a challenge finding shoes. Good for you!!!
That's why DH and I go to the VIP theatre. We can put our feet up, DH can have a beer and dinner, I get a Starbucks and a Cobb Salad. Not a rodent in sight.

They were bloody loose- I lost weight from my feet, too! I was wondering why there was so much space and I was dragging my feet and then I remembered: I had RNY!!! Crazy!

I went through Wharton (Burlington) and surgery at St. Joe's in Hamilton. All in all, I was 10 months from start to finish. If you can keep your schedule relatively open where you can accommodate last minute cancellations (if you contact the centre), you will move much quicker through the process.
*hugs to all*

Medicard is a company that will give you a loan for your plastic surgery. Most plastic surgeons will have the info you need. The interest rates are rather high, so I believe you would be better off using a line of credit. Also, try and see a plastic surgeons that works with OHIP and possibly get some pre- approval coverage ( its not a lot) if you meet a certain criteria and then just pay the up-charges. I had some of my plastics covered in 2014. ( after a 100lb + weight loss) I used Dr.M.Elahi and am very happy with my results. Good Luck
