Mine was half hour tops...met nurse...met surgeon...bought opti and out the door. My surgery was two weeks after my surgeon appointment and I started opti the next day. I was also transferred from TWH... best decision As I loved the nurses and staff.

Surgeon will go over the risks of surgery...a brief description of what to expect...answer any questions you may have. Great experience!!

Good luck... I had Dr. Bhojani.

Hope it went well! Mine was about an hour but they were super busy that day and I had to wait a while. I'm so glad it worked out though. I saw the surgeon on Dec 19th or 20th and had surgery on Jan 12 - only 1 week of Opti. It worked out so well for me and I loved the team at Guelph. I had Dr. Reed but I've heard only good things about all the surgeons there.

Losing the regain! I got this!

My total time with the surgeon and nurse was about 30 minutes, but I did have to wait an hour.

Thanks everyone,

Just got a call to remind me of the appt and the receptionist said.... " and if the doctor accepts you for surgery"......I'm like.....I hope I am after all of this and driving an hour and half.....freaking out a bit I guess. I'm just hoping that they meant if I wasn't ready he'd say no..... I'm ready
