They want to see that you have made positive changes and are ready. Prove that and you're good to go. See my time line below.
Good luck!

The psychologist is similar to the social worker but more in depth. The dietician wants to be sure you understand how you will need to eat post-op. Both are looking at your behaviours.
Since the order of appointments varies a bit, you should expect surgery approximately two months after your surgical visit. Those are the current wait times and of course, are subject to change.
