You'll get more responses in the Canada (Ontario) forum, but for me:
- Meet the surgeon and you can ask questions
- Filled out a medical questionnaire
- Order your Optifast or Slim Time and get instructions
- Book for pre-admission appointment
- Get referred to other clinics if needed (I had to go to the Thombosis clinic due to previous history of blood clots) based on the medical questionnaire
- Get medical forms(possibly labs) to be completed by your family doctor
- Get your surgery date (less than 3 months from that date)
If they don't book your pre-admission appointment right there, they'll usually book it within the week.
I am having my surgery at that hospital on Friday. When I had my meet the surgeon appointment, it became real.

I am scheduled to have surgery at the same hospital on January 18th. When I met my surgeon I was able ask any questions and we booked a surgery date. Because of the holidays mine was a bit further out than usual (apparently) my meet the surgeon appointment was beginning of December and my surgery isn't until January 19th. But it was ok for me! Everything became real and I also had to do 3 weeks of optifast that thankfully started AFTER Christmas!!
Good luck and post updates!
