Status if Referal
All referrals go through the Ontario Bariatric Network. You can check with them if your doctors referral was received. They decide which program you are referred to
I was referred by my doctor on November 29th. I got a letter in the mail December 15th, with information about orientation which I will have to attend in Guelph on January 12th. My doctor also called me on Friday (December 16) with "important appointment information" but I missed the call so I'm not sure it it was about the orientation or something else.
Thank you all for taking the time out to respond.
My bmi is 38 when my doctor sent in tge referal. I am currently taking synthroid and effexor for hypothyroid and depression/ anxiety.
Anyone is a simular situation that was approved for tge surgery?
The closest bariatric center to me is Humber River, anyone familliar with typical weight times there?
Do you typically get refered to the closest center to you?
I'm glad I found this forum, its so helpful to have people to talk to.
