Thank you, how long after meeting the Dr can I expect a surgery date?

Of course I can't say for sure, but I would suggest getting on the cancellation list, and letting the surgical booking receptionist know that you are ready, and willing to go on short notice ...If you can that is.

I did those things and I had my vsg less than 3 weeks after meeting the surgeon

Congratulations and welcome!!

I had my surgery at TWH about 6 weeks ago. All the surgeons there are amazing.

If you have a flexible schedule, when you go to your appointment, make sure you talk to Sharon, the nurse in charge of surgical. She is the one you want to ask to be put on the cancellation list. Let her know you are available to do your pre-admission anytime too, and you know it's only valid for 3 months and if it expires, you are ok with redoing it.

That's what I did, and I got a call from Sharon the following week with a surgery date and pre-op date, and was in surgery two weeks later.

I wish you all the best! :)
