I was told somewhere along the way that the doctors in Ottawa meet once at the very beginning of each month, to determine surgery dates for the FOLLOWING month. So it's already April 17; they've decided the May surgeries already. They will meet in early May to decide on June surgeries. Likewise, they will meet in early June to decide on July, and so on.

My timeline is below. I think it was a couple of months (met the surgeon in November 2013 I believe?) and then had surgery in February 2014.
