I went one the list back in October '09, never heard nothing till this year in June, went for my first appointment in July, got called 3 weeks later to get a sleep apnea test done. Had it done the following day. Back to Bathurst Sept 2nd, went back the following week on the 9th, and then went for information session 2 weeks later on Sept 22nd.Got called the following day to get all my tests done, which everyone has to get done.( Bloodword, ECG, Pulmonary and Chest X-ray) Had all them done October 1st, and now I am meeting with the anestesiologists on Oct 14th. Getting really close now. I know the wait is long , but I always said good things come to those who wait. And soon as you start meeting with everyone , it to will go by really fast. Good luck and keep me posted.
My referral was sent to Dr. Savoie's office in Bathurst in Feb 2010 and I am just going for my first appointment on Oct. 22.
I was referred to Dr. B in Moncton in 2009 - First appointment - February 18, 2014, Information Session - April 1, 2014, signed final papers August 8, 2014 and told by surgeon that it would still be 2 - 6 months before surgery. So patiently waiting. I have heard that Dr. Savoie in Fredericton is also doing the surgery (no sure which one, possibly all types), however, not sure if he has the follow up program that Moncton currently has (which is and incredible program/support). Possibily something to investigate, looks like his waiting list is MUCH shorter.
All you need is your medicare card, nothing else. Everyone that works in the clinic is so friendly, and make you feel very comfortable. All I can tell you is feel free to ask anything,they are very helpful. I didn't really have alot of questions, because I did all my research over the years on each surgery, pros and cons of each. But just getting in to finally meet them, is a foot in the door. Good luck in your journey, moves very fast from your first visit on. I am meeting with the anesthesiologists on Tuesday of next week, and I'm getting very anxious now:)
Keep me posted.

Depends on which dr you are seeing. My referral went to Dr Beausoleil in oct 2008. I just had my surgery on sept 23.
hi!!! I only sent in my application in August 2014.... How long before my first meeting? N is it based on what my doctor sent them or not?? How long the wait until anything moves?? Thx everybody:)
i wish i would have known about Unjury before surgery, i had trouble finding something i liked drinking. i find all protein shakes has a like a chalk taste to it and leaves after taste.
Unjury is the only thing i can drink without gaging and it doesn't leave an aftertaste. only thing it's from U.S. but there is a flat $18 fee for shipping, doesn't matter how many you order, so i always order like 6 at a time so it lasts me quite a while.
Hi, I had my initial consultation with Dr. B on January 24th...all day info session on June 24th and just signed the consent papers on October 3rd. I am 99% sure there will be no call for surgery until January 2015 at least. It is extremely difficult to be patient and to just be waiting for the next step but it will all be worth it in the end :)
