TWH Patients, a question!
Hi all!
Just a quick question! Next Tuesday (November 17th), marks my (hopefully) last pre-op appointment. I'll be seeing the dietitian. After that, I'll be sent to rounds. My question is, what is the typical wait time before a surgeon's consult is scheduled, once your file is sent to rounds? I know I'll be sitting by my phone anxiously.
Thank you!!
Hi there! Once your last appointment takes place, your file will be sent to rounds on the first Thursday following it, I guess it should be the 19th. From there, I waited another week for a surgeon consult date call and it was scheduled for 3 weeks later. BTW, I believe you mentioned you live in the Durham region. I'm in Oshawa :)

My last appointment was at TWH on Aug 19th. Went to rounds the 20th. I got a call on the 20th with my Surgeon appointment for Sept 11th!
I was flying overseas on Aug 20th. The psychologist knew that so I'm not sure if they called before I left in order to ensure I had the information. it was nice though to have it so quickly.
Surgery is Tuesday, Nov 17th.
It will fly by!
