Appt on Mar 16

Hi Everyone,

I have an appt on the 16th of Mar. Originally scheduled for the last week of Feb.  Was told that now he is doing consults in groups of 4. 

You get a visit with his nurse, then he speaks and he will see you privately if you have further questions. 

Anyone else had this type of appt. and how was it and any one have an appt on this day  Would love to hear from you.

Hi Again,

I must have had no brain cells the day of my post.  Dr Farries is the Surgeon I am seeing in Red Deer on Mar 16 for Roux en Y.

I saw Dr Farries on Dec 29th so I'm on the 3 cups a day plan now.  We met in a group, I think there was 5 of us.  They said it was th 1st group session they had done and that they changed it because they didn't think it was working so good dooing the same speach over and over again in the same day so they decided to give it to everyone at once.  First they took us each in with the nurse and weighed us then Dr Farries came and gave a presentation and answered questions.  I go again to see him on the 2nd of Feb and this time it will be one on one.  So far I've lost about 13 lbs :)  He wants us to loose 20 - 30 lbs in 3 months.  It's been a bit of a challenge but I'm working at it and I don't get quite as hungry anymore.  Hope everything goes well for you!

Hi Marie,

Congrats on your loss.  That is great!  Pleeease tell me they give you a diet plan to follow for the pre-op weight loss.  This is the part that terrifies me.
