Thank you Cara, so you received your acceptance letter into the program? When I received my acceptance letter it was just that a letter and I heard nothing until I was notified of my orientation session. When you attend the information session you will get a lot of handouts. Not sure if anything has changed but my information session was about a year ago.

The clinic does not return calls regarding wait times and frankly getting them to return any calls does not happen quickly. You can expect around a 2-3 year wait from acceptance until information session. It could actually be longer now there are so many people waiting for this procedure.

I hope you get your call soon!

Hi there to all,

 

I received an acceptance and NO information package on March 23,2013. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING...my doctor did call the clinic and said she would call me when she got a return phone call...I have not received a return call. UUUUGGGG!

Hi Mike 

Whatever e-mail you use for Facebook. There is an option to request someone join by e-mail. That way I don't have to try to find people. Let me know what yours is and I'll send you the invitation. You can do a private message if you don't want it posted on here. It says it has to be approved by an admin.

It's a secret group, so you won't be able to see it. If you send me your e-mail address in a private messge (the one associated with your Facebook account), I'll invite you, then an admin has to approve it.
