Surgery wait times - Ottawa
Its 6-8 weeks after the appointment with the surgeon. My surgery date is on Monday, the 13th in Ottawa. After I'm through it, let me know if I can answer your questions for your upcoming surgery. This forum has been very useful in helping me to address my questions. 3 more days of optifast!!! Can't wait to be done that.
I'm on the 13th in Ottawa as well. Good luck! I'm almost all packed & ready to go for tomorrow. Now to see if I can sleep tonight!

I just had my surgery in Ottawa with Dr. Neville on Monday, June 6th and the staff were wonderful. I met with my surgeon three weeks before the surgery but they said to expect four weeks and my pre-surgery class two was about three weeks before the surgeon meeting.
I was told at the pre-surgery class two to expect to have your surgery within eight weeks of class two and to get your surgery date within four weeks of class two.
Good luck!
Hello fellow Ottawa weight loss surgery folks.
Two weeks after my meeting with the surgeon I got a call to book my surgery. They were flexible and let me delay the surgery a bit as I was in the middle of the adoption process.
Dr. Neville was my doctor, but she was on vacation so Dr. Yelle did it on the 30th of May. The hospital staff were great. I also had my gallbladder out and am recovering very well.
Good luck!
