Thank you! Will do! The earliest I could have it is September due to some vacation conflicts at work (my boss NEVER takes vacation and his wife finally convinced him to take August off for a family vacation). Both of us off would not end well and I don't want to stress during recovery. Another poster noted it is 4 to 6 weeks from consent but the nurse did say quite a few people have moved through the process lately.

September is right around the corner anyway! That will give you time to prepare, and like you said, not stress about recovery.
So so exciting!!!
I go in tomorrow for my final two appointments before TWH decides if I meet the surgeon. I'm so nervous. They say it takes two weeks after to find out. I imagine I'll have a sense when I leave tomorrow though. Hopefully anyway! Not sure of the timing after that at TWH though.

That's awesome! I am right behind you, I had my dietitian appointment yesterday at St Joes Hamilton (it was my last health professional consult). She said I should get a call within a few weeks to book the consent appointment. She mentioned it is a bit slower at this moment due to vacations etc. but I should get surgery in 2-3 months. Julie
That is exciting!
