How long was the time between your referral and your surgery?
For me about 10 months. It can vary though. I didn't need a sleep test and I had no other co-morbidities, but HRRH was backlogged and I waited about 2 months for a date before they transferred me to a surgeon at TWH. Apparently the wait time there is faster now. It all comes down to which hospital you're going through, though.
Referral - Feb 25th, 2014. Info Session - April 7th
Surgeon#1 - May 15th Dr. Glazer - July 23rd, Dietitian/Social Worker/RN - Aug 1st, Surgeon #2 - Sept 10th, Surgery - Dec 16th, 2014!
If everything goes according to schedule, I'll be looking at about 4-5 months from referral to surgery. I'm in Thunder Bay where there are 2 new surgeons in town. As of this month, they're upping their surgeries from 4 per week, to 3 per day. So things are going super fast here :)

I don't have a surgery date yet but I have been 7 months getting from referral to clinic appointments. It really varies back on the center your own health, etc.. Good-Luck
