How long after have been cleared before surgery?
Just wondering how long most have been before you get your date after you have been cleared by the nutritionist, dietician, social worker and internist? I have been cleared by all and just have to get the results from the sleep test on the 15th.
Referral from Family Doctor - November 4/13 | Orientation date for HRRH - January 9/14 | 1st meeting with surgeon - January 30/14 | Dietician, Registered Nurse, Social Worker Appointments – Feburary 10/14 | Second Dietician - March 11/14 | Dr Glazer - March 20/14 | Sleep Test - March 24/14 | Sleep Test Results - April 15/14 | 2nd Surgeon Appointment - May 13/14 | PATTS - September 30/14 | Surgery Date - October 21/14
Depends on your center. & your surgeon. I had Dr Hagen and in Early October, I was given a date of late January. His wait tends to be longer. He did give me the option to have another surgeon with an earlier date, but I was very comfortable with him so chose to stay

I was cleared for surgery on February 7, 2014. Dr. Sohi's office called me on February 11, 2014 and gave me my date...May 2, 2014. I think it depends on the centre and the surgeon...some are quicker then others. Good luck!
