Good luck! I hope you hear soon. TWH is insanely backlogged as far as I can tell. I'm so glad I was able to go to Guelph for my surgery.

When you were offered Guelph for your surgery did you have to repeat any of the process or did you just go there for the surgery?  Was your after care and follow ups with TWH or with Guelph.  I am not adverse to going to Guelph if offered but I don't want to have to travel there all the time for appts and follow ups after the surgery.

I didn't meet the surgeon at TWH. I had to go to Guelph for that as well as pre-op and for my post-op check up. Everything else will be with TWH and there was no duplicate. I don't know if TWH is offering that option anymore but it doesn't hurt to check.
