Re: Anyone from Ontario?
I'm in Toronto , have consulation appt on monday where I hope we are going to talk hysterectomy.
Would love to hear from anyone who has been treated in Toronto ( via PM if you want to talk about specific dr's and hospitals). I'm fairly new to Canada and am having trouble with just getting my head round how things work here.
Had an upsetting experience at my last appt about treatment options and have been referred to yet another gyno
feel a bit like everyone is playing pass the parcel with me

Re: Anyone from Ontario?
I highly recommend Dr. <> in Markham, On. He operates out of the Markham Stouffville Hospital and has an office right next door.
Good luck!

Re: Anyone from Ontario?
Hi, I am in SW Ontario. I had my surgery Aug 9 in London. He is a very reassuring and well reputed Doctor. I did only see him once prior to surgery as he was my second opinion follow up. I met him in October 2010 and he scheduled me for August surgery that day. I had TVH with anterior and posterior repairs (rectocele). Everything that I have heard about him instilled confidence.
Surgery was Aug 9, 2011 and I am resting at home. He originally said 6 to 7 week recovery, in hospital he said 7 to 8 weeks, We split the difference for a 7 week return to work.
I am felling good but I am also being very good.

Re: Anyone from Ontario?
Windsor ontario here....Sept 20/11 had TAH/BSO, 3cm cyst removed from vagina (pressing on rectum), moderate endometriosis and hernia repair. I had felt pretty terrible for a year, lost 35lbs and new lactose intolerant/IBS diagnosis in March 2011. Had a lap done on Sept 6/11 and basically emergency hyst Sept 20/11. Eight days post-op and still really run-down and gas pain/bloating is the worst!!! One day at a time....looking forward to feeling somewhat human again soon!!!!!!!!!

Hiya! I'm in Thunder Bay and had a TVH September 28. Doing well and couldn't be more pleased with the care I received in the hospital and from my wonderful doctor. Hope all continues to progress smoothly during recovery.

Re: Anyone from Ontario?
That is awesome! I also had a wonderful doctor who put up with this very cranky patient (me) and I feel I had very good care in the same hospital you were in. We are very fortunate to have a teaching hospital here.
