im afraid they will reject me but won't find out until I go.

should be an interesting journey

Welcome Sue!

Welcome. Usually they have reviewed your file before you get the introductory appointment. Good Luck

Hi Sue

welcome! I'm new to the process as well. I'm in Brampton and was wondering when did your referral go in? How long did you wait to hear about the appointment for orientation?

thanks 

😊

Referral went in about 2 weeks ago...and I just heard about orientation Friday 

That seems quick.

How did you hear from them,by mail or by a phone call? 

Sorry for all the questions. Tuesday will be 2 weeks my Dr said she would fill out the referral. I don't know what happens after that.

thanks Dianne😊

my doctors office called me..they received the mail about orientation..i got nothing..i will pick up letter from them

Ok thanks, I just hope my Dr didn't forget to send in the referral 2weeks ago.

Welcome Sue! Stand-by for what is sure to be an AMAZING Journey!

Hi Sue! I also live in London, ON. and have just started the process with my family doctor this week. He has only had 1 other patient have this surgery before in his career so he was going to educate himself on the referral process. He thought it would be at least a year before getting into Windsor so I am happy to hear that it was quicker for you! :)

My BMI is 45.9 and I have struggled with my weight for almost my entire life. I also have hypothyroidism which doesn't help. 

I look forward to connecting with you and others on this board while learning about the process!
