orientation complete
Welcome to the forum :
welcome to the program. Yes the process is long and from orientation to surgery can take well over a year.
I started my program in December 2014 and I am booked for surgery next week Jan 24 Th /2016
so it has taken me 13 months from orientation to surgery.
Yes it's a long process and only the committed will complete it.
Resolve as many issues as you can ahead of time so when your seen by the clinic you will have a head start.
For example if you have not been assessed for sleep apnea most clinic require a sleep study to ensure you don't have sleep apnea.
This can take months to complete and if you do it early it can save you time in your program and shorten your wait times.
As for Humber yes the wait times are absolutly redickulous it can take 4-6 months before you get your next clinic appt.
