I too am at TWH . I had my orientation in August and after that I called every second day for cancelations. I was able to adjust all my appointments and now I meet with the surgeon next week . Keep calling for earlier appointments

My Dr referral went to the Bariatric clinic in August. My orientation appointment is booked for December 22 and I've been calling weekly but no cancellations so far. It's frustrating because some people I know who had August referrals too are already meeting with their surgeons. I've been told Ontario wait times are typically 7-9 months but at the rate I'm going it'll be longer than that. I users time to research and view before and after pics to keep myself positive and motivated. It's a long wait once you know you want the surgery. Anyone else finding similar wait times?

Your time will come before you know it.....it's holiday time

...I found Dec a write off when I was going through the process....I started the process Nov 2013 and was sleeved Aug 29/2014.....and I called to "up" my appointments. ...I can relate to being anxious. ....keep calling!!!
