New member: Anyone on the waiting list from Cite de la Sante in Laval?

I am new to this forum.  From what I read, you sound like a great group and I'm certain I could use support from people going through the same think as me.

I see a lot of people on the waiting list from Sacre-Coeur and I am on that list too (Dr. Atlas) but I am also on the list from Cite de la Sante in Laval and I think from the meetings I had so far, I will go with Cite de la sante.  Anyone else at Cite de la sante?

Have a nice look weekend everybody.

HI there

I am meeting with RocklandMD on the 20th but with the news of no more surgeries at the clinic I am also looking at Laval.

What is your waiting list like with Laval?

HI!

I was put on the list in October 2010 and I was called for the group meeting in April 2011.  I was lucky because usually it is a bit longer than that.  A friend was called at the same time as me but she was on the list since September 2009.

How it works in Laval:  The first time you are called is for the group meeting where one of the surgeons explains the surgery, the nurse responsible for the program as well as the psychologist and nutritionnist talked to us too and explained everything.  At that meeting you fill out a form that confirms that you still want the surgery.

Then you wait for the call for your appointement with the nurse and the surgeon.  Call that I got last Thursday.  I'm so happy.

Then you have to meet at least once with the nutritionist and once with the psychologist.  After that you meet with the nurse again to complete your file which is sent to set the date for the surgery. 

Their reputation is very good and they do everything before the surgery so it is a success.  That's why we have to meet with all those specialists.

Hope I explained it well.

Hi!

I have two appointments schedule for October 3, with the surgeon and with the nurse.  I can't wait.

Have a nice weekend.

Hi and Welcome! 

I have not heard of anyone else from Cité but I'm glad I now know one! Don't be shy, we are not very active but we do have a nice number of patients who have gone through with the diff types of surgeries.
