I GOT MY DATE!
video blog definitely would help some people if you feel up to it. kinda putting yourself out there though, i'm sure it wil lbe fine, but i doubt you will 'be at your best' after surgery. heh
myself, i'm wondering about the parking situation there. I was planning on driving myself in since it so early ... then having someone take the bus to come pick me up once i'm released. not sure if they have long term at lachine or not. never been there before.
There defiantly is parking Lot. My family is driving me in, because i don't want to drive myself and they were asking the same thing. I am sure there's got to be parking there or maybe 1 street away. So you don't have to leave your car there you might consider letting someone drive your car home with you when you get out. Or taxi in and lift back home.. you defiantly have options.
Justpete, I know someone else who got called today for a sleeve with Dr Court on april 2nd at Lachine. At what time is your surgery?
May I ask when was your group meeting? I'm having mine next week and would like to have an idea of when my time could come...
Good luck to you in getting ready!
They didnt give me an actual surgery time, which now that i think of it they probably should have? They said that you usually go in for 7 or 8 am. i'll have to clarify.
they will be calling me next week to book the preop and meeting with dialectician, so perhaps i'll find out then.
I had my group meeting late september i think, and 1:1 with dr court in october. the first date they gave me was jan 30 (which i declined). so about 3-4 months after group meeting.

Parking at Lachine hospital is not an issue and it's a fixed rate: 5$ for parking. not hourly
@ Barbara: Great!!!
@Mama_genny: About the time line...My group information session was January 10th,2013.. Then my 1 on 1 with Dr. Court a week later.... Then surgery is March 26th,2013... Mine just FLEW by. While some people I saw were very hesitant. There were people complaining it was going to fast they needed time to think about it. On the other hand I was already decided from the time I sent in my application that this was what I wanted, and I made that very clear. So I think that's why I was scheduled so quick.
I saw another post(Sorry I don't remember who) but she had her information session on December 10th and her surgery was also in March.
@Pete: When I called she told me they would call me the day before to give me the exact time I should be there.... I assume it's the same for you.
