Got the call today......Surgeons appointment in Guelph - Aug 5th
Wow, I am so excited! I got a call from the clinic @ GGH this morning for my Surgeons apt with Dr. Pereira-Hong for August 5th (must've been a cancellation) either way I am super stoked. Can anyone let me know of their experiences with Dr. Pereira-Hong and also, what should I expect at this appointment.
How long after your surgeons appointment was your surgery?
Thanks :)

I just had my surgery with Dr. Pereira-Hong on July 22. At my initial appointment, she was kind of stern. Challenging me on my weight (I was up 3 pounds since my previous appt), my activity level and my goal expectations. I think that was on purpose, a sort of scared straight thing. On the day of my surgery and while I was in the hospital, she was super.
My surgery was about 6 weeks after my appointment with Dr. Pereira-Hong. She was concerned because I had given blood in May so she made me wait a bit.
Good luck!
