Red Deer clinic

I would really like to touch base with someone *****cently had the surgury thru the Red Deer clinic. I have so many questions.

Hi - I'm part of the Red Deer clinic. I haven't had surgery yet, but I have a surgery date (very close).

If there are any questions I can help you with, please let me know. :)

Hi Kim, my intake appointment is Feb 1st Red Deer. How long did you wait from intake till surgery?

Hi Simplycin,

My group orientation was March 4, 2014, and my original referral was from August of 2013. My first nurse appointment was March 19, 2015, Gastroscopy in August, 2014, then ended up being on hold for months due to medication changes causing problems.

I was approved for surgery in May of this year, and I'm scheduled for January 2016 for the actual surgery.

If not for the medication causing issues, I would have likely had surgery much earlier this year. All in all, it'll be a total of just under 2 years in my case, but I think the norm seems to be more within the 16 - 18 month range from orientation to surgery.

I hope that helps, and if you have any questions, please let me know. :)

I had surgery in Red Deer on July 16th this year.  Sleeved by Dr.Menezes.   Let me know if you have questions I can help with.

Hi Tara,

How are you doing with everything? I'm having a sleeve done next month. I'm trying to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row.

Any advice?

Thanks!! :)

I'm doing great.  Feel really good.  Haven't had any problems.  Once I was on soft foods there was no looking back.  It's been a crazy ride, I'm down 60lbs in the five months from surgery, I lost 55lbs before surgery.

Hey Tara

What was the wait time from Intake appointment to surgery?

My first Nurse Appointment was November 2nd 2014 and surgery was July 16th.   There's a really great Facebook group that is secret if you're interested in joining?  it's over 400 women from alberta

Hi Tara, I would love to join that group if that's okay?  I had my intake appointment Dec.16th and my surgical consult is on Jan.13th with Dr. Greg.

Thanks,

Phoenix
