How does it go
Hi there, it really depends on your hospital. I was at TWH and there was a Nutrition Class as well as a Psych Evaluation prior to the surgeon meeting ... see my dates below. I'm assuming it may be a little different for Hamilton.
Referral: September 2014; TWH Orientation: December 9, 2014; Social Worker: March 2015; Nutrition Class: May 5, 2015; Nurse Practitioner: May 20, 2015; Psych Evaluation: August 2015; Nutritionist: September 2015; Meet the Surgeon: November 6, 2015; Pre-Op: December 4, 2015; Scheduled Surgery: December 18, 2015; HW 367; SW 341
I am in Hamilton. Please see below for my timeline. I just today had my final test eeg/ecg. Not yet met the surgeon or scheduled surgery.
