I'm new to all this, I got my referreal from my neuro in mid Jan less than two weeks later I got my letter saying orientation is feb 29th. I'm curious if anyone has an idea of a timeframe? for Windsor centre. if I don't get to a healthy bmi I'm going to have to get a shunt and I really don't want one. My mother just had hers redone October because of complications 25 years later so I know a lot about this lifestyle and have the support. I'm thinking will be over a year before its done?

My referral was sent Jan 8 2015. Orientation was in feb 2015.  I had surgery Jan 8 2016. Everyone's timing is different but I think the average is 10-12 months.
