I'm very new to this journey. My Dr sent in my referral Aug 2015, so this process is just getting started for me.

Sorry for the dumb question what is patt that you're doing today?

other than waiting for something in the mail or a phone call, is there a way to find out if my referral has indeed been sent?

thanks

Dianne

Hi Dianne,  PATT is the pre-screening before your surgery.  You get weighed, xray, ECG, blood work, blood pressure, meet the nurse, meet the anesitist stc.  2-4 hrs.  

If you do a search on this site for PATT I'm sure you will find much more informative info out there than I can provide.

Do you know what hospital you will be going too?

Did you request a transfer to Dr Hagen?  Just wondering if all the surgeons are booking as far out as Dr Starr.

I'm going through TWH, referral was sent Aug 27, 14, got the orientation invite late October, 14. My orientation was Jan 28, 15. Just finished all my appts end of Aug, waiting for my surgeon consult date.
