Hi to all,

Just want to let you know that we have a new surgeon in Bathurst, N.B. who does lapband, sleeves and lapband re-route. I met him a couple of weeks ago and my specialist for diabetes and some nurses I know praise his performance. I don't have my date yet. He said as soon as he could get an op-room, I'll have to follow an 2 weeks SlimFast diet and then I would have the surgery.

Clempier:biggrin:

I don't think Keith has any regrets either. I asked him when he woke up from the anesthesia and later on last night and he seemed happy about getting the surgery, no regrets whatsoever. I am happy that he feels that way. It is going to make the transition easier for him and for our family.

I just got off the phone with him, he is tired. He had a semi-private room just in front of the nurse station and he said they were loud all night. He got no sleep at all. I have the feeling he will be sleeping quite a bit when he gets home to peace and quiet. But besides being tired he is feeling well. He has not taken any pain medications yet. He says that the pain isn't bad enough to take anything. (Maybe he is just being stubborn too.. ha!ha!). Well with that being said, I'm going to head down to the hospital and wait with him for Dr. Savoie to make his rounds. I am pretty sure Keith will be posting on here later on today!!!

I'm back at work this morning. 41 pounds lighter. No regrets at all. Going to see dr. Savoie for my first fill on monday.

wow!!! Congrat this is great.

I when to see Dr Savoie monday and next time I will be on the operation table!! I am quite excited!!

Hi Cindy and Annie

I seen him on November 4 2008 the first time. I when to see him on august 17 and sign the paper for operation and I wont need to see Dr Savoie again before. He will operate on me on November because my BMI is High and he want to prepare his medical team a bit more because he havent done much surgery in summer. :blushing:

Bonjour Keith,

Tu n'y vas pas avec le dos de la cuillère . . . déjà 41 livres, SUPER!! Pour ma part j'ai moi aussi perdu 41 livres mais cela m'a pris plus longtemps que toi. Que veux-tu, quand on est une femelle de 50 ans, le "body" ne veut pas toujours faire ce que l'on voudrait. J'ai pour la première fois, bloqué à cause d'un boeuf "Strogonoff" depuis hier midi. J'ai pu mangé ce soir mais j'ai du resté debout sinon cela faisait mal. Il a fallu que je revienne au Boost diabétique pour une journée bien que cela soit encore sensible.

Well I got my surgery date yesterday...I am booked for sept. 16 ....Started the boost today....Quite hungry today hoping it will get easier as the days go by...I will be happy once surgery is done I am quite nervous ...

I saw DR Savois today and sign the paper for operation and I wont need to see Dr Savoie until december,

im new here and i waz wondering how good DR savois is with follow up , ???

Hi

When was your first consult? I am waiting for my initial consult.

Cindy, Annie, Keith, Clempier any of you guys still on anymore? Interesred in everyone's progress! I am still waiting patiently......

Hi,

Dr Marc Savoie received my demand march 16th. Im wondering if it will be long before I get a consult? I called last week, and she didnt really know. All she said is she thought it would be in December?

Hope to see him soon

Hello, I sent my request in December of 2008 and will be seeing him for the time at the end of october, so it took a while before i got an appointement.....don't give up, your time will come.

thanks to answer....I cannot wait my turn...Hope he will accept me...My imc is almost 38!

Hi everyone. I was wondering how many times you have to see Dr. Savoie before you get your surgery date. I've had all the blood work done and saw Dr. Savoie back in January. Then I had a follow up with him in early Sept/09. He explained the surgery and said he'd see me again in a month. My next appt is Oct 19/09. Is this when I will go on the boost?

Thanks

Hi StellaRae

I`éve seen doctor Savoir first time in November 2008 for the first time. I when to see him for the second ans last time in august 2009. I receive my call from the doctor office october 9 and I am starting my boots on november 21 and will get operate on november 4 in the morning. So on october 19 when you will meet with doctor savoie he will make you meet the dieticien first and tell you ruffly when you will have the operation and they will call you when you dont really espect and give you your date. Hope it help :confused:
