Hi, I am so excited to have a chance to chat with others re lap banding. My doctor will be Dr. Beausoleil in Moncton NB. I am waiting for my first appointment and can't wait to see what the time line will be. I am hoping to be banded just before March break so I can have that time to recuperate and not miss too much time from work.

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

Have you checked out the Canada subforum yet?

No, this is my first day on this site and am unaware of others. Do you have the web address, please?

It's a subforum on this site. Here:

Don't worry about it. I get this reaction 50% of the time and I'm still trying to figure out what words to use to make it more clear.

Hey there,

My name is Jenn and I live in Fredericton. I to am getting banded by Dr. Beausoleil. Have you met him yet?

Hi Jenn, No I haven't met Dr. Beausoleil yet. I have an appointment for January 22/09 and I can't wait. I really want to get on with this. I've lost one month due to a snow storm but I'm hoping things will progress quickly from this point forward. Have you met with him yet?

I actually met with him a week before Christmas. Very nice man. I am just waiting (not so patiently...hehe) for my all day info session.

Jenn, it must feel good to at least be started. So what happens on the first visit? I have done lots of reading etc. but things seem to vary from person to person. I was suppose to have my first appointment on Dec. 22/08 - gotta hate that snow!!! I am guessing that I will have at least a month to wait after my first appointment - not good - patience is not my strong suit!

Jenn, did they tell you when to expect your all day info session?

New to this whole experience, just had my first appt. after being on a waiting list since 2002. I am a candidate and am awaiting my full day information session. Meeting with Dr. B was good. Anyone else out there?
