Hello, congratulations!!! 

My name is Nicola. April 19 is my orientation date. I'm a little nervous at what to expect. I am going to the same medical centre as you the Worton. I live in Hamilton as well.

That's AMAZING!! We were referred close to the same time - but my orientation isn't until Monday and they said 6-12 months from then.  So I really hope it's closer to 6- I'm at TWH

If you want to move quicker and area able to make it, switch to the Guelph clinic. They are so amazing, efficient and we are moving nice and quick through there!

I switched from Humber after 20 months in the cueue and only having orientation.

I went to Guelph orientation February 22, Trio #1 February 24/March 7 (split appointments), Trio # 2 April, post op class and meet the surgeon in May and surgery either end of May or early June. I'm not a special case either. They're just that efficient, honestly, and such genuinely NICE people.

just my two cents. good luck to everyone!
