New - have questions

I'm new to the forum. I'm from Northern Ontario. I have been going through the process and was told that the next step is meeting with the surgeon through OTN which they will call with the appointment this upcoming week. 

What happens after that? I assume I will then travel down south for a 1 on 1 meeting? Does anyone know how long on between appointments? I'm starting to get impatient lol. 

Any help is greatly appreciated 

I met with the Surgeon last Thursday and they called me on Friday with my surgery date which is 9 September. So the final process is fairly quick.  They had surgery dates in July because of client cancellations however that was not convenient for me since I will be out of the country.  Good Luck.

Thank you! Same to you. Are you in Northern Ontario?

I live in Ottawa but used to live in North Bay.

Hi I am also from Ottawa and going to Civic

i have one on one appointment on July 21st....

long waitð??"

I went threw Sudbury bariatric clinic and 1 year post op this month.  After you had your 1 on 1 s with nurse, dietician and social worker.  your file goes to rounds and your file is sent to Toronto and your surgeons secretary will contact you with an OTN appointment.  a video conference where you will meet your surgeon for 15 minutes he will do lots of talking and tell you which surgery you will be getting and how many weeks of optifast you'll need to take.  Depending on which surgeon you get you might be told to wait and they'll call you with a surgery date? or they will give you a phone # to call and find your surgery date out.  Then its pre op and surgery after your OTN appointment.  It happens quick be ready

Thanks for your reply. I'm going through Sudbury as well. Just waiting for the otn appointment with the surgeon which I was told that it will be the first week of July. Approximately how long between the OTN appointment and the actual face to face? I was told things happen fast at this point but how fast? Lol. 

my otn was April 2nd 2015 and my pre op was May 27th, and surgery june 16th. 

So I have my OTN appointment with the surgeon on July 7th. 

This is getting exciting! 

congratulations on getting your OTN appointment which surgeon do you have? if it is Dr Sullivan you will get your surgery date that day if you call his secretary.  If you get dr Lindsey you will have to wait for his secretary to call you with your surgery date
