I am at the same stage as you. I am 47 and have my referral to . I have not seen the surgeon yet . I have went to the nutrition lady. I have to go for four months and then a pre op appointment with her.My insurance is aetna and has already approved my surgery. So i guess i just have to get all my appointments in my surgern appointment is September 2nd and i am trying to get all my appointments done before then.
Hi there,
I'm 46 and I am waiting for RNY surgery (date is set for September 22 at Toronto East Hospital). I had my referral sent in January and have completed all of my appts at Toronto West. My surgeon appt. was in early June and I've been waiting ever since.
I don't know what hospital you are going through, but it seems Toronto West is much more efficient at putting patients through and the one I ended up with. I know people who started the process a month after me, and had their surgery a month ago at TW. I'm not sure why TE is so much slower, but its a little frustrating. So, if you are in the Toronto area and going through that program, try to see a surgeon that works out of TW.
I have my pre-op appt. this coming Monday, so that is kind of exciting. Then two weeks after that, I will be starting the Optifast.
Have you had any appts yet with the social worker/nutritionist/psychologist? Well, it really is amazing how fast the time does go, and even though I still have another month to wait, it isn't all that bad compared to how things were a couple years ago where people had to wait years.
Good luck with your journey, and if you want a pal, please write. I'm 46 and live up near Port Hope, east of Toronto.
