One of my co-workers is going through Humber as well, I believe at her initial meet the surgeon, they discussed the process, complications, as well as next steps...I will confirm with her today and report back! ?

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 !
