I was wondering approximately how long the waiting list is to get an appointment for SRS with Dr. Brassard in Montreal, Quebec. It will be quite a while until I am able to get SRS, but I was just curious what I should expect.
Thanks, Hayley.

I booked my surgery in mid-December. I was able to get the end of March only because of a cancellation. Otherwise I would have had to wait until late May or June. I would recommend booking it at least 5 or 6 months out to make sure you can get the date you want.

Little out dated on the US price, dollar and loonie are 1:1 (or so small it doesn't matter) right now.

I consulted with Brassard Jan 29 and had originally had a date of July something--then I was told that I would be the last patient before they shut down for the summer.  I didn't feel comfortable with that, so they suggested Aug 31--I took it then rescheduled for Sept 15--a Wednesday which is kinda wierd.

Thanks for the information Kristyn :)
I wish you luck with your surgery, assuming that you mean September 15 of this year :)

Thanks Hun!  Yep that's this coming Sept 15--I'm getting antsy.  Have you had your funding approved from OHIP?

I'm actually pre- everything. I was just posting this so I know what to expect when the day comes to make my appointment for SRS.

Ohh, I get it!  No hormones or anything, yet?  Then I'm sure you will find a lot of help here.  If you need any info on local stuff, i.e. Toronto docs, health center, etc.  you can PM me if you wish  :)

Thank you so much Kristyn. I'm not on hormones or anything yet. No visit's to a therapist or an endo. I'm sure I will message you as soon as I can collect some questions to ask :)

Hi I'm new to this site just learning my way around, Kristin, I just scheduled my surgery with Brassard for Oct 26. Hate the fact that i have 6 month to just let my had spin. I'm so very happy to find someone else who is getting ready to go to Dr B.

Congratulations!  There's actually a few of us here going to Brassard.  Three of us in September a week apart and we're all from the same vicinity--quite a coincidence!

You might get a early appointment someone could cancel. When I called in early Jan they gave me Sept. Then I got a call back sayin I could be seen in July One of his last patients before vacation.

Are you July 6?  That was my original date, I then switched to September
