Only 1 Appt after orientation

I had my orientation on May 11th at Toronto Western - and most people on here have said you leave there with your next 3 apts.

I only got 1 - and starting with Psychologist.

Is this because I already have the band - and am looking for revision?

Any info would be great :)

It makes sense that they would want to determine your mental state and whether they think you are a good candidate for revision before scheduling more appointments.

 I am only guessing.

Interesting....

I had the gastric band and revised to RNY in January. I had to go through the whole process like everyone else.  

A friend of mine just went through the exact same thing.  

We were thru Humber though so I don't know if it is different where you are.

Good luck with your journey :)

So what happened after the psychologist?  What was your timeline from referral to surgery?

My referral was submitted in Sept 2014.  

Orientation class was Jan 9th, 2015.

I had my band removed the end of Jan 2015 due to complications.  

Trio appts were set up in July 2015 and had to be rescheduled for Oct.

Met the surgeon end of Nov and had RNY Jan 18th.

Thanks for the info - can you tell me what the "trio apps" are?  I see a lot of people referring to them - but I have no idea what those are.  Also - did you have to have the band removed prior to the new surgery - or is there an option (if not an emergency case) to just have it removed at the same time as the new procedure?

Hey,

You can see my progress in my signature.  I am just waiting for rounds.  I am hoping for surgery by the fall so that would be exactly one year.  I have been healthy and no issues with my appointments.  Some people seemed to have more appointments scheduled than others at the end of orientation.  They could be backed up or maybe they do want you to see the psychometrist first (she was one of my favorite people I have seen so far) due to wanting a revision, or maybe she just has the most availability.

ok thanks - can you at least tell me what the Trio is? I don't see that  anywhere on your profile

No idea, I haven't heard that before.
