I'm bacccckkkk....

Wow, thank for the detailed description of your appt.  Just what I needed to hear. I'm so nervous and want to be prepared for this.  It shouldn't take you long to have the sleep apnea test done (if i'ts the one done at home through Vitalaire). What takes  long is for the report to come back from St John.  It takes about 4-6 weeks.  Your dr can probably call them directly and get the report verbally. 
PS....glad to hear that he's easy on the eyes!

Thanks for the info regarding the sleep apnea testing! My GP today said it would be probably the home testing - I'm not sure if that the Vitalaire? My GP was going to put Dr. Savoie's name on the report and mine as well, so hopefully between the 3 of us, we may find out what the results of test are. ;-)

I hope that your appointment with Dr. Savoie goes well too! :-)

Dr B is hard to beat in the looks department! LOL

I'm tellin' ya Charline, I think that he'd make your eyes just as happy as Dr Beausoleil does. :-D

I see that I forgot something very important in my last post!  CONGRATULATION ANITA AND P_N ON YOUR CONSULT! Doesn't it feel amazing to know you are on you way? We can all hit the losers bench together and dare I say it?.......onederland!

Thanks Charline!

I don't think that I've seen onderland since Junior Highschool. It would truly be an amazing thing for me. I'm just so happy to be sharing the experience with you all!

I am really looking forward to meeting Dr Savoie now - thanks PN!

Isn't it funny how God works things out for us.  I have been waiting about a year on Dr B list and after some research really wanted the DS.  After speaking to his receptionist and nurse found out he only does the Lap and RnY so figured I would go the RnY route and wait my turn ... but after the last support meeting decided to be a little more proactive - thanks Lori!  Still getting the 3-5 years deal from Dr B office I figured no harm in going on Dr Savoie's list too so asked my family doctor's receptionist to fax a referral.  Dr. S receptionist was sure which surgeries he did but would ask when he came in on Thurs. 

Still being "proactive" I called Dr S office again Thurs to confirm that they had received my referral and lo and behold now have a consult for Thurs the 6th AND she confirmed that he does do the DS (and thanks to PN I now know that he was trained by one of the very best in the world!!)

If no one finds out next week I do plan on asking some questions about the hospital stay as will be travelling from Moncton so will let you know PN.

The journey continues.  Keep following up everyone because you are fighting for the quality and length of your life!

That is fantastic Michelle.  Congrats! 
  

Hi Michelle,

I hope that everything goes well at your appointment on the 6th! I went the pro-active route here too after hearing that Dr. Savoie was actually not a figment of our imagination. :-D

Are you thinking of getting the DS surgery as well?  Let us know how your appointments turn out!

So you are getting the DS or VSG?

YAY FOR YOU! CONDRADS NOUGAT~

He told me I would be done before christmas or at new years also! I just need my sleep apnea also- I have my appointment next week with the specialist. I was lucky because I am already a patient cause of my ashtma.

I don't believe I suffer from sleep apnea, but he wanted me to see my lung specialist just  in case.

Here's to christmas time!!!!
