I have my information session on April 7th at the Keele location. Is there anything I should bring, or do while I'm there? What are the wait times after the info session? I'm curious if anyone has gone through the process recently and what sort of timeline I can expect.

 

Thanks so much and Happy Thursday to all.

You will get an appointment to meet the surgeon first then after that the internist and then all the clinic appointments with the dietian/nurse/social worker.   Any tests like sleep test etc are done through the internist.  I had my orentation back in nov, met the surgeon a week or so later then the internist Jan.  had a sleep study done in Jan.  Had my appt with the rn/rd/sw cancelled due to ice storm , resceduled for end of Jan had to go back again in March. they told me i'd hear from the surgeons office within 2 wkks i didnt wait..called myself got an appt...my surgery is sched. Oct 7!!!

Hi there,

My doc has sent my referral to the Ontario Bariatric Network a few weeks ago and I know that I'll be referred to HRRH based on my postal code as well. You mentioned though that you called them for the orientation? That sounds fabulous - any way you could provide their number?

And best of luck to you on this journey!
