That's great!
Once that happened for me I was given an appointment for a pre-surgical nutrition class at Hotel Dieu, I believe that I already had my date for a meeting with the surgeon by the time I attended the class. Once you meet the surgeon, you then go make an appointment with Dr. Glazer, and I made a trip to the surgeon's office where his receptionist sold me the Opti and booked my surgery date and my PATTS.
If you can get an appointment date with Dr. Glazer on a Tuesday or Thursday then you can do your PATTS on the same day ( the surgeon's receptionist told me they only do PATTS on Tue and Thur.) That way you only have to go once more.
Once they told me my file was going to HRRH it was maybe 2 or 3 weeks before I got all these appointments, so it will probably be pretty soon!
