Stay in hotel after surgery at Sacre Coeur?
Hi everyone,
Dr. Atlas will be my surgeon and i was wondering...Does anyone know if you have to stay in a hotel close to the hospital after surgery? And for how long? I live 2.5 hours away from Montreal.
I also wondered about follow up appointments - how often do you have to go back following surgery, and are these appointments also at Sacre Coeur?

I don't know about hotel stay, I would call the office and ask...
For Follow ups, Martine told me it's a 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and then yearly... I think it's at the Dr's office... but I'm not sure..
Guess I wasn't very helpful ;)
Have you done your nutrition class yet? How often do you see the Dr? Do you ever do follow up calls to find out where you are? have you been registered at the hospital yet?

Hey Barbara - Thanks for responding. No, I haven't had my nutrition class yet. I emailed Martine a few months ago and was told I would probably be contacted in the fall. I email every few months...she just said the wait is even longer now...3 years instead of 2.5. That's it so far. No tests or nutrition class yet. Not registered at the hospital..is that when you get your card? Nothing at all so far. Its been 34 months on the waiting list. At this point, I'm not even thinking it will happen this year. I'm hoping for early 2013. Who knows...but I feel very ready!
On the positive side I'm looking forward to hearing all about your progress and learning from how things go for you! Coming up soon!

That is weird. The hospital never called you to "register" you? I think they called me in the spring of 2011. I did my nutrition class in the summer of 2011.. I think it really depends on your surgeon and how many surgery's a week / month he is doing...
Not when you get the hospital card, just when they put ou "on file" / "on the waiting list" The dr's office sent them my file and the hospital called me after my 2nd or 3rd consult with Dr Denis and they completed my file and that was it... I know Dr Denis, when I first saw him Fall 2010 he said it was 12-18 months, then when I saw him in March when they had started doing at Rockland and he was doing surgery and extra day a week it was 9-12 months.. then when Rockland stopped, it was 18-24 months....
I REALLY hope you get your date soon!
I'm still in disbelief and won't believe it until I am on the table.. or better yet: waking up in recovery! LOL!
