How long until you get an appointment to meet internist?

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and am looking forward to learning from each and every one of you. Here's my back story: I was referred in 2018 to the Humber River Hospital for bariatric surgery. After I attended the information session I decided to proceed with the surgery and I met with the surgeon (Dr. Hagen). However, after that I decided against the surgery (nothing to do with the doctor). I wanted to give it another try on my own. But I failed to do so, so in 2019 I asked to be re-referred since I was still within the year. In March 4th 2019 I met with the nurse, nutritionist and social worker. They all gave me the go. I was told that I would get a call for the internist office (Dr. Glazer) with an appointment date. It's been 4 months and I still haven't received a call. Now, don't get me wrong. I know there are many people waiting and that the process is long. My question is really out of curiosity, and a bit of wanting to make sure I wasn't forgotten since my case is a bit different (I had all my appointments dates already assigned on my first time). Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing, and if they did how long did it take for you to get a call?

Thanks in advanced!

Welcome!

I would give Dr. Glazer's office a call and see if they received your file from Humber. Dr. Glazer's office will usually call you once they have your file.
