Toronto advice
Hi
I need some advice please
I have gone through the Windsor center and was told on Dec 20th by the nurse my file was complete and was being being sent to the surgeon location. I had picked Toronto
Today I decided to call the Toronto site and make sure my file was there, as Windsor has lost a few things on me in the past.
I looked up the bariatric center at TWH phone number and called. I used 416-603-5800 ext 6145. The lady I spoke to was very nice But looked me up and said they did not have my file. And they were up to date
this has really upset me. I have called Windsor and left a message
but now I wonder. Is there more then one Toronto location?
If they looked me up at TWH and couldn't find my file. Is it possible I am at another location?
if anyone has numbers for the other locations can I have them please
I am so close after a years wait. I just don't want to delay it any longer
thanks

There are 3 other hospitals in Toronto that do bariatric surgeries: St Michael's, Toronto East General, and Humber River Regional Hospital (HRRH). You should be able to find their phone numbers on the Network website (www.ontariobariatricnetwork.ca).
Good luck!
Referral: Apr 2013; Orientation (HRRH): Aug 12, 2013; 1st Surgeon Appt (Dr Sohi): Aug 23, 2013; SW/RD/RN: Nov 8, 2013; Internist (Dr Glazer): Nov 14, 2013; 2nd Surgeon Appt: Nov 20, 2013; Start Opti: Jan 3, 2013; PATTS: Jan 16, 2014; Surgery: Jan 24, 2014
St. Michael's and Toronto East General are both part of the TWH program. So if she is having surgery at either of these two hospitals, her file will be sent to TWH and her pre-op and post-op appointments will be held at TWH.
Referral to registry: Oct 21, 2011 Orientation (TWH): Feb 22, 2012 Surgery: Nov 7, 2012
Come to Toronto East End Coffee Nights! Click here for details.
Probably wasn't sent yet.
Windsor patients typically go through TWH. They have just started regrouping Guelph patients so they could be possibly looking at another centre.
Call the registry

There is only two Baratric centres in Toronto which are TWH and HRRH but Windsor patient sent to Toronto are usually through TWH. Maybe Windsor hasn't sent it yet.

Hi,
I would definitely try to get a hold of Windsor and find out what the delay is. In the November class, people were told that they needed to have a letter of compliance regarding their CPAP machine or there would be a delay. So if you use one, could that be an issue? Windsor patients as far as I know are only sent to TWH ( I even requested HRRH but was told that was not possible). Keep on this and find out what is the issue.
Good luck
Thanks for the reply everyone
after speaking with Toronto and Windsor things have been figured out and my file is now in Toronto and I should have my appt next week
