You still need to meet with your surgeon. Depending on how long you have to wait for that it is hard to say when your surgery will be. Hopefully it will be this year!

I went through the Hamilton clinic. I met with the Internist next and if given the all clear, then met with the surgeon. It was a very quick process at that point. I know every clinic is different though.

Hi,

I am going through Guelph. I called on July 28 to tell them I had my CPAP, and thats what they were waiting for to tell me I am on the list for surgery. The next appt will be a class in "post operative nutrition" which they said will be scheduled when the surgeons are ready for more patients...they say likely in September for that class. I too wait...

Did they all sign off and tell you are on the list for surgery?

We are kind of on a similar time line...

It was only the Interist that had to sign off. If my body couldn't handle a surgery, then they wouldn't operate. Once I got that 'ok', I was then called with an appointment with the surgeon. I was told (by the surgeon) what operation I was having and I signed the consents. I was told that they would call me with a surgery date. Before I left the parking garage, I had my date! The surgeon gave me the script for opti-fast so I bought that on my way out.
