Time from Referral to Surgery
My wait time was 15 months from referral to surgery through St.Joes in Hamilton. Surgery is July 15th. It's a long waiting time but it gives you time to change some habits you may have and really take the time to make sure this is a right decision for you. Definitely worth the wait. It is hard at times, patiently waiting with little to no communication from the clini****il you get that first appointment letter. But let me tell you once those appointments start coming it seriously happens really quick, that's why I say that waiting time in between helps in a way.
