I'm a data person... So I thought it would be neat to see how long from referral to surgery - so if you don't mind humouring me- can you post your hospital, referal date and surgery date?  Thanks in advance to all *****ply!

RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.

77 lbs lost and counting!

Losing the regain! I got this!

Hi Daizymom! 

I think it depends on where you are, and where your surgery will be. My referral went in to the OBN in August 2014. Orientation in October 2014. Didn't find out what hospital until early April 2015,which was HRRH. Met the surgeon in April, and surgery July 7 2015. It seems a bit long, but at the time it wasn't. It gave me a great chance to get mentally prepared. I am in a city that does not do surgeries(yet), so our clinic sent people to Toronto or Ottawa, depending on the governments funding.

Surgeries will start in my city in September, so it will make the process a lot quicker for local people. 

Take this time to get yourself mentally prepared. Start cutting back on calories now and make better food choices. By doing this, it might help your way of living post-op.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Skotti

Hi Skotti

i'm still preop and look forward to your videos every week.

I'll be having my surgery at HRRH as well. My next apps are trio and DR Glazer in July.

Hopefully everything goes well with those appointments and surgery will be soon after that.

how do you know Surgeries will start in September.

thanks for sharing your journey.

Hey Akatiti,

We have only had a Bariatric Assessment Clinic for a handful of years, but now the hospital is ready to do surgery, AND the government has approved them to go ahead with them. 

I am a patient advisor for the Bariatric Planning Committee. 

Cheers,

Skotti
