Toronto Western Hospital -Surgeon Meeting

Hi there.

I was wondering I have my surgeon appointment Aug 5th 2016 and I wanted to know how many weeks after seeing the Surgeon at TWH do u get your surgery.

Can it be weeks after or is it months or does it depend on something else. 

The dietitian told me I would be signing papers and paying for my optifast and getting a date.

Can it be the same month you see the surgeon?

Any advice please 

I was 8 weeks after meeting the surgeon. 

My appointment to meet the surgeon is July 22nd and I was told it could be anytime within 6 - 8 weeks after that appointment. OMG I'm sooooooo excited. I can't believe how fast the time is starting to fly. :-)

Good luck keep us posted

Congratulations. .. are you at Toronto Western Hospital as well? 

Yes TWH :-) maybe we will be surgery buddies. :-)

Guess what this is the strangest thing ever ...

So I called for a cancellation today at TWH and I got a earlier Surgeon date which happens to be July 22  :) I'm super happy. 

I call consistently and I got threw so we really might be surgery buddies .... :)  what time is your appt on the 22nd

10:00 am and you? :-) OMG very cool & I live in Mississauga too. OMG what a small world lol

So I'll be waiting for you to be finish as I'm at 11am :) God this is exciting. Did u buy anything from Costco like low fat or no sugar items.... I'm even more excited 

I don't shop @ costco but I have made many purchases such as Vitamins and have been taking them now for approx 6 mos. (I am horrible at remembering these things so I wanted a head start to have myself on a firm schedule before surgery) I have purchased many different protein powders and drinks to try out. I have also practiced eating pureed foods lol even bought baby food lol the fruits are great :-) The meats and veggies are ok if you add seasoning :-) but I think I will puree my own I even bought a new blender/food processor combo. As for sugar I have gone sugar free for quite some time now and that was the best thing I have done so far aside from quitting smoking. I do miss enjoying my nightly glass of red wine though but the NUT insisted I had to break that habit TOO :-( but I am committed to making a chage for a much healthier life and if it included the WINE then it had to go. Sorry for being so long winded :-) I too am very excited. July 22 is only 39 more sleeps. This an amazing journey and I am so thankful for the 2nd lease on life.       

I seen the surgeon this month and I got my surgery date in October which is 4 months after. Good luck!
