Omg like you wouldn't believe. I'm ready and need it now it's just holding up my life now.

Oh well I work in the medical industry so I'm used to hospitals and drs taking their time with everything. Now it's me and not my patients so it needs to happen now. Lol

So on the day of the 10th week I finally got a phone call basically to say that I didn't have the right information so I started off the call excited and ended it trying not to cry. But hopefully soon I will have that letter

What information do they still need... I had this hurdle too and I was scrambling to get everything they needed...

Hopefully you will hear soon. I had my referral in at the end of May. Filed patient survey one week later. I had to have my med list sent in near the end of June as I mis read the form. So I don't know what this means as far as my referral! Phone calls have not helped me get any information.

It was one of the letters. They didn't accept it cause it was not written directly to them. Oh well Friday the dr wrote a new one and faxed it in. Hopefully I hear from them Monday or Tuesday with a date. They didn't ask for anything else so fingers are crossed

Thank you for talking about this as I had no idea it'd matter if a letter's directed towards a company or not. Is there a way to know for sure if a therapist is compatible with their requirements before they write the letter? Mine runs the psychologist/therapy center at a major university of America but am starting to wonder.

Well it has been over three months since my file when to the clinical nurse and team for review! I phoned again this morning, one month after my last call and got the same message. 'Be a little more patient!' The clinical nurse is to email me once the review is completed and a date can be set.  I am starting to wonder if I am in the play 'Waiting for Godot'!

I'm sorry they are making you wait this long... you will get that phone call for sure

Thanks! When Adrienne said to be a little more patient, I asked if she could send me some! We laughed. It just seems to be taking a lot longer that I was told it would. A phone call won't help as I am out of the country. Email will work.

Glad to see your recovery is going along well. Movement can really help with healing the body. Hugs, Kelly

well last wednesday i finally talked to the clinical nurse, she asked me about a heart issue i had about 6 years ago (Had a irregular fast heart beat for a night that went away and never came back)
i have done every test possible and they havent found a damn thing and it hasent happened again since, im pretty sure that iot was stress seeing is at that time i lost my job and that is when i first really started wanting to transition again after my son was born (i had over a year of something else on my mind lol)

so she was gonna talk to the anesthesiologist and if i didnt hear back from her she would approve me and hand my file back to the office, so hopefully seeing is that it is monday that is a good sign and my fingers are crossed that i get a date this week  hopefully they have some cancelations cause im able to go basically anytime getting off work is no issue for me, hell i have been off for the last 2 weeks already cause i bruised my ribs on my 4wheeler (ouch)

[islandgirl]

May I ask how you were able to speak to the clinical nurse? I can't get any closer than Adrienne at the front door! I would like to know where the hold up is for me.

[mszoey]

They call you when they are ready to talk to you. That's it unfortunately

Thanks. I hope they email vs call as I am out of the county and will not be available for a phone call. I can call them though! Waiting is difficult! It is really bringing me down. I could really use some good news with everything else that I am experiencing at the moment!

[mszoey]

If they have any questions they will call. But they leave messages with ways to reach them. I talked to the like 2 weeks ago and I still don't have a date so it really makes no difference lol

I'm sorry they were giving you a hard time... it took them 8 weeks to get back to me with a date since I gave them my medical package!

Hopefully you will hear soon as you have been in contact. Jujubes - My package went in at the end of May. Been with the clinical nurse since second week of August. So...... not sure what to think or say.

They were closed for a two week period for summer holidays. Still seems to be longer than expected.

It has only been two weeks! That is since my last post, and I seem to be sinking into melancholy. I feel like I am stalled out and as each week goes by, feel like my life has been frozen in time. I realize that this is my own mind set but reality is it still causes me to withdraw. I hope that someone has heard from Montreal! I will be phoning once again next week, monthly check in, to see if I can get any further information. Good luck everyone!

I just got my date. It will happen and luckily for me I only have to wait another 2 months for surgery so it will happen soon enough
