what to expect?
Hello. I was accepted into the program in Jan/2012 and went for my orientation at the end of Feb/2013. Unfortunately, I had a few setbacks because of the receptionist who has since left the clinic, lost my referral letter, then lost my orientation questionnaire plus a few other mistakes were made. All that to say, I met the team (nutritionist/nurse/psychologist/kinesiologist) by April (in 2 separate appointments) and was given the plan to follow. I had my follow-up in June (I can't remember the date) and was approved for surgery. Again, there was a mix-up with my referral to the surgeon so didn't get an appointment until July 16 for my first surgeon's appointment. I was given a surgery date .... Wednesday, Aug. 14!! So, my wait was about 19 months for acceptable to surgery. Hope this helps.
