FINALLY APPROVED!  Had my appointment at CAMH yesterday, both Dr. Brown and Dr. McIntosh gave me the thumbs-up.  Also, I was in Montreal Monday thru Wednesday visiting a friend at the Brassard clinic, so I had booked a consult with Dr. Belanger, which was great, and I found out they are currently booking dates in October, so if the planets line up right, I could be there in NOVEMBER!! 

What a great news 

Congrats! I'm waiting for approval - there's a chance I'll be there end of the year.

Wow, congrats!

"Booking dates in Oct..." OMG 5 months of wait for surgery? Is this for all surgeries, or just SRS?

Hi Colleen,

It might be a bit hard for you to believe, however following your story from Day 1, It's easy to believe this end. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person in the world, than you.

You've worked hard and long for this girl, and it's all yours. Take and receive your just desserts.

Oh! and BTW, thank you for giving all the details of when and where. So when you find your gurney hi-jacked on the way to OR, don't come looking for me. (I've arranged a decoy) ROFL.  Sorry, patience was never one of my strong points. I'm having to string out to Nov 2013.

Go for it you GO GIRL.

Love
Catherine

Congrats!
I wish you luck and everything good

way to go. i wish you the best of luck and fun

Congratulations, Colleen.  Damn I wish I lived in Canada.  Or we had a good health care system here.

Actually, just got my date!!  SEPTEMBER 12!!  Yes, 2012!

YAY FOR YOU!! That's actually pretty soon, methinks...

Yes, that is unbelievably soon.  I was expecting end of November, maybe early December, but it seems there must have been a cancellation or something.  I even got the bed I requested (I've been there three times so far, visiting friends, and two of them have had this same bed, and now I get it, too!). 

*hugs*

*happy dancing*
