After orientation what can you expect when you meet the surgeon?
Depends on which hospital you are with. At TWH you don't meet the surgeon until the very end

Im going through Humber. I just met the surgeon 2 weeks ago and it was literally a 5 min appointment. He asked why I wanted the surgery, how long it took me to get to the hospital, gave me his card and told me to call his office asap. The receptionist just gave me a low down of what to expect and prepare for at the trio appointments which I was given the dates for before I left that day .. and that was basically it !
