 July 31st 2014 - First Appointment at Wharton Medical Clinic (Etobicoke) & referred for Gastric Bypass by Dr. Wharton. 

 Aug 21 2014 - Referral FINALLY actually faxed by the Wharton Etobicoke staff. they held on to my paperwork for three weeks before bothering to fax it.

  Sept 24 2014 - Received my orientation info packet for Toronto Western Hospital. first appointment Dec 10th. & I decided to switch hospitals to Humber River, as it's much closer, and easier to drive to. Also cancelled the Orientation appointment.

Oct 6 2014 - Humber River still has not received my referral from Toronto Western, was told today it has to bounce back to the Bariatric Registry before making it to Humber... Sort of makes me wonder if I should have bothered to switch hospitals... This is just pushing back my wait time even longer.

Oct 21 2014 - Called Humber and they still don't have my referral.
- Received a call from Toronto Western, they spelt my name wrong on my forms. So the forms were sent back from the Bariatric Registry. One month of waiting for the transfer and now it'll take another month to make it to Humber river.... all due to a spelling error. so upset and frustrated and the lack of professionalism and work ethic of the various people handling my "forms" :(

Oct 22 2014 - Finally called and received my patient ID number from Toronto Western, so Humber River was able to find me in their computer system, and identify who I was. Hopefully within a week Humber will hear from the Bariatric Registry, and then Humber can move forward with booking my appointments. *fingers crossed*

Oct 23 2014 - Toronto Western called me and let le know the transfer is finally complete and gave me my Humber River Patient ID number!
- I called Humber River and booked my Orientation date for November 7th 2014 at 1pm!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! yayyy!!!!

Nov 7th 2014 - Humber River Hospital Orientation completed!

now to wait for my Trio & surgeon appointments.

  Feb 18th 2015 - several calls to Humber & to no success, only attitude. People from the Nov 10th orientation are getting their surgeon and trio appointments. And no one from my group has been called/emailed yet. This is beyond fair & so frustrating. 

Feb 24th 2015  - 11:37am received a call from Humber finally, for a Surgeon appointment tomorrow at 11:15am. with Dr. Hagen! FINALLY!!! cant wait for my Fiancé and I to meet him, and start moving forward. Thank the gods!

Feb 25th 2015 - Meet Dr. Hagen, it was sweet but short appointment. He was very soft spoken and sweet, and said that I was a great candidate for the surgery! yayy!

May 7th 2015 - went to my Trio appointment at Humber (Nurse, Dietician, Social Worker) was super stressed out, but got three yes's! onto my internist!

May 12th 2015 - Went to Humber and saw Dr Glazer, who sort of approved me? just said, "make sure you take your CPAP to the Hospital for surgery!"

so I had to ask "sooo am I approved??"
crazy me! Onto Pre Op app!

May 19th 2015 - Appointment with Dr Hagen went well, picked up Optifast, Surgery date August 4th at 2pm!

May 20th 2015 - Got the call for a cancelation! my Surgery date is June 3rd, 2pm with Dr. Klein!!!

May 28th 2015 - PATTS pre-op appointment 11:45am
