Sudbury verses Thunder Bay

Anyone going through Thunder Bay?

I am currently going through Sudbury ... Had orientation beginning of August.  My one on one appointments are scheduled for the end of Feb.   Seems like a long wait?

What I am wondering is IF I were to switch to Thunder Bay would the process go any faster?  I live 5 hours from either center .... But 10 hours from Toronto .... So actually surgery in TB would be easier!  But I don't want to switch if I have to start all over .....

I am so ready to begin my new life!  Any advice is very appreciated!

I am currently waiting on my dietitian/psych appt on Sept 15...waited 2 months for U/S had that done mid Aug...not sure what the rest of the timeline will be was referred Aug 2013.  Found out that they have recruited 2 surgeons to do it locally (at least for low risk) which I fit into..Iam not certain that you would be in the catchment area for TB if you are at another centre already.

I'm 5 days post op from Thunder Bay. I was the third person to have surgery here with the new surgeons. My process took 13 months from referral to surgery but it's hard to tell I things will speed up or slow down here now that the surgeons are here. I'm sure a phone call to the centre here wouldn't hurt. 

after being on this board for almost 5 years, I can confidentally say that if it takes a year from approval to surgery, you are in the right ball park..

Any luck with your inquiries?
