He sent me in for a sleep test. So waiting on the hospital to get back to me. I have my follow up appointment in November am guessing everything else should be done by then. I looked for the Facebook group you mentioned but it's closed and I don't have a personal Facebook so I was using my nephews. Thank you for your correspondence
It is Tuesday right? 
(my day's were all messed up last week)
Another busy weekend including an annual family reunion where we always have potluck. I behaved for the most part but did have a small brownie for dessert. (it was a better option than choosing one of the several pies that were available)
B - triple zero yogurt
S - boiled egg
L - chicken skewers, salad
S - turkey pepperettes, cheese string
D - protein shake after my workout
S - usually i'm starved after workouts so likely some chicken
welcome Nina. I don't know the timeline for Hamilton but you can see my timeline for Guelph on my signature line. Hope this helps.
CENTURY CLUB MEMBER at 6 months post-op.
Referral to Guelph Feb/13, Sleep study and all bloodwork and ultrasound May/13, orientation July/13. Nurse, NUT,SW Sept/13, 2nd NUT, nurse and SW, 3rd round and cleared for surgery Dec/13. Pre-op Apr 7/14, Surgeon May 2/14, Opti Jul 3/14, surgery Jul 17/14.
When you see Dr. Glazer (Internist). He is the Doctor that approves you for surgery so he will send you for whatever test that he thinks you may need.
I didn't think I had any issues with sleep either but he sent me for a test. I was mad that he was delaying me but it turned out that I had sever sleep apnea!! So better safe then sorry I suppose.
I'm going through Hamilton and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what happens at the internist appointment and how soon after that do I meet with the surgeon and get a date. I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I haven't seen topics about the internist so I'm a bit clueless. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Ohhhh myyyy! See what happens when I'm super busy. SORRY
Thanks for the response. I don't know which surgeon, I didn't ask to be honest. I just got a call saying they have an available date for the surgeon and I was too excited to ask who. At which step do I find out if the sleep study is necessary? Cause I don't have any sleeping issues thus far that I know of.
This is a great site with great information but there is also there is a facebook group for Humber River that is much more active then this site.
Welcome!
I t will be faster then a year. I just went through HRH and it took me 7 months from orientation to surgery (and that was including the wait for the sleep test). If you don't need a sleep test, you might even move through faster.
What surgeon do you have. I had Dr. Hagen and he was amazing!
Hey,
So am new to this forum and the whole gastric bypass procedure.
A little bit about my journey thus far:
Referal: Feb 2019
Orientation: June 2019 HRH
Surgeon: August 19th, 2019
Internist: August 12th, 2019 Dr. Glazer
So my question is how soon could me surgery date be? I know I still have to see the, nurse and SW but am just curious. I was under the assumption the process could take over a year but it seems sooner, am not complaining just excited and nervous I guess.
Any and all advice and information would help. Thank you
