Meg I am so sorry to hear about the offer. It's hard when you have your heart and head fixed on a specific place.
I am hoping that something even better will turn up. Be kind to yourself. Don't go off the rails. I'm still sick or I would take you and the Nugget out. Big hugs.

Hi There!
Once you complete the trios appointments it's pretty fast from there. Feel free to check out my timeline below.
Study, study that book before trios is my best advice! 
Referral - June 2018 ~ Orientation - August 21, 2018 ~ Meet The Surgeon (Dr. Klein) - December 14, 2018 ~ Internist ( Dr. Glazier) - January 25, 2019 ~ Social Worker - January 28, 2019 ~ Nurse and Dietitian - January 30, 2019 ~ 2nd Surgeon Appt - February 25, 2019 ~ Pre Op Appt - March 7, 2019 ~ Start Opti - March 6, 2019 ~ SURGERY DAY - March 20, 2019
I excited to share that I have finally got my appointment rolling. Next week will be appointments with the nurse and social worker and the last week of Feb, I have appointments with the surgeon and the dietitian.
What comes next. Any of my Humber people out there willing to share their timeline with me?
Update.. I got the "Call" this morning. I can now say I have 4 appointments booked. Social worker, dietitian, Nurse and Surgeon! And the best part, they are all for this month! So excited.
So there is hope out there, just under 3 months after orientation and my appointments are all booked.
Hugggs Meg!
Sorry to hear things didn't go as planned but know that sometimes these things are a blessing in disguise. I am sure the right house will come along shortly. You put in a lot of hard work and deserve a break so enjoy that little girl today!!

Although I'm also checking out revision surgery, my GP has referred me (and my family) to the Wharton Medical Clinic as well. (My daughter is still considered pediatric at 17 - they are booking into September(!) for that and she'll be 18 in October, so the WC booking person decided we should wait the extra few weeks and start her as an adult. She'll follow along with us on our journey in the interim.)
Anyway, my husband, son and I are joining the Wharton Clinic in Hamilton later this month. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with them and what your thoughts are. I have heard good things from a few friends, but would like more info.
Thanks.

MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
Good morning :)
This week has been nutters and my eating has gone sideways. Tuesday we had professional photos taken of the house. This meant spending five days going all out trying to get our house as perfect looking as possible. By yesterday I was totally done emotionally and physically. Then we lost the house offer...
Today I'm just going to take it easy and spend as much time with the little nugget as possible. I was going to run errands today but my car is a block of ice so I will wait until maybe tomorrow.
Post-op three years and eleven months.

One of the first things I read and believed in when I just started out is what SweetRide says all the time...be your own advocate. I called every other day for cancellations, asked to be on the cancellation list and it got to the point where I showed up in person when folk weren't answering my calls. Humber has gotten a lot better with answering calls now I must admit.
You definitely know they have your file so you won't get looked over. I didn't start following up until 6 weeks after orientation as they told me that we should receive a date within 6 weeks. Apparently that timeline is now around 8 - 10 weeks from what I have heard.
SweetRide makes a great point in doing things that will help the process....that also worked in my favor.
All the best!
It's so hard when your doctor is not totally on board.
My doctor went through everything with me and even said if he missed any referrals just to let him know.
I have went through HRRH and did not need many tests done, only bloodwork and a couple of things at Dr Glazers. If you are in relatively good health not much should hold you up. They try to book your next group of appointments all in one day but the first call seems to take forever. My orientation was at the end of July and I could have had surgery in Jan, I had to put it off due to work. If you don't hear from them within 2 months I would call. Good Luck!
Orientation July, Surgeon consult Sept, Internist Nov, RD/RSW/RN Dec.
