My fellow Guelph-ers..lol
Hi Guys,
I know this question has probably been asked a BIZZILLION times before but I'm just curious..for the people that have had surgery recently in Guelph how long was it from the appointment where you met the surgeon until you actually had the surgery? Also, I updated my profile today because I found out who my surgeon is going to be..so I added Dr. Reeds name but it won't let me save his name unless I put in a surgery date...I obviously don't know when my surgery will be so I just put it at 6 weeks from my appointment to meet the surgeon..How can I save my surgeons name but not have to put in a surgery date until I know the actual date??
Thanks soooo much for all your help!!

Hi, I to had Dr. Reed. My appt with him was Nov 22nd and my surgery was Jan 19th so that was about 8 weeks but it might have been sooner if it was not over the Christmas period.
So your estimate of 6 weeks might be pretty close. As for saving the name and not your date I am not sure how you can do it, but you can always go in and change your date after you see him.
You will like Dr. Reed, he is great.
