Dr. Beausoleil (Moncton N.B.)

Yes doing great as well. Reduced blood pressure pills down to one a day from 3. Down 3 metformin to 1 a day. BP & Diabetes in check. Yahoo. With me, I lose 1/2 lb per week but boy does it add up.

Just remember to not rush your fills and don't overfill. Many tend to get impatient thinking the weight will vanish overnite. NOT.

Again, best wishes.

I am going to have my surgery in Kentucky. My surgeon has done over 2500 bariatric surgeries. I am looking forward to meeting him and scheduling my day.

madamesuzanne,

Hi, I'm from Beresford, NB and I just wanted to let you know that there is a new surgeon in Bathurst who does lap band surgeries now. His name is Dr. Marc Savoie. I'm diabetic and my specialist, Dr. Khan send me to Dr. Marc Savoie. Now in New-Brunswick they pay for the surgery if it's medical reasons. I'm suppose to have the surgery probably in November. Dr. Khan think highly of Dr. Savoie.

Good Luck

Bonjour Clempier, thank you to let me know about New doctor Savoie. I have checked his rating on Browse Doctors | RateMDs.com and he seems to be a very good doctor.

Do you know if he does filling too? Next month, I am going to see my doc Henri Atlas in Montréal. I hope I will have my first filling and then be able to have it done in Moncton or Bathurst if possible. He has talked about that when I saw him on the 26 of August.

You know what? My son and daughter went to BHS for 2 1/2 yrs when we were living Caraquet. After that, we moved in Campbellton for 7 yrs. I was teaching for District 15, now I am teaching for district 6 here in Rothesay. This is a small world.

I am wishing you best of luck Clempier. Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving and I am very thankful to have my lapband now. It is worth the 16 K that I paid in Montréal.

Let me know how you are doing Clempier.

Best Regards,

Madame Suzanne :smile2:

Hi Madamesuzanne,

What a small world. I'm a teacher at Carrefour Étudiant in Beresford so as you can imagine, I'm French too. I was adopted in a french family from Paquetville but my birthmother lives in St-John, NB. I graduated from Caraquet in 1977. I moved to Beresford in 2000. Dr. Savoie told me that as soon as he can get a op. room I'll have to be on SlimFast for 2 weeks and then the surgery. I''m going to stay the night and then come back home the next day. I don't know if Dr. Savoie would do your filling, ask, you have nothing to loose. I'm on the list for Dr. Beausoleil too but it's a 2 years waiting list. I'm glad we have Dr. Savoie here, I won't have to travel for the fillings and all. Got to go. Hope to talk to you again.

Hi Ellenjacq,

I heard positive comments about Dr. Beausoleil and his staff. I hope everythings is going to be fine with your surgery. I know I'll have to be on a SlimFast diet 2 weeks before surgery, stay for one night at the hospital and I'll be back home.

:thumbup:Hi everybody. I saw Dr B. last Thursday, Nov 20. He said I would need to attend an all day info session and the office would call me with an appointment time for that. I was referred to an endocrinologist in 2005. Got in to Dr. Dornan in 2006 and finalli got into Dr. B. now. I need to lose around 100-130 lbs. Can't wait for surgery. I just want to be a normal person again. To walk into Walmart and buy clothes or to go to a movie and fit into the seat. Get on a plane and not have to have 2 seats and ask for an extension belt. I can't wait. I've already lost 30 lbs on my own since June. Now I weigh 257. I live in Saint John.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
