Girl walks into a WLS clinic.......and....

Girl walks into a WLS Clinic and throws her MasterCard on the table.................and states. 
OK who in here is willing to give me a VSG.....I got the time and the money and the will to have it done!!  C'mon Big Fella.......who is willing....nudge nudge, wink wink.

Girl gets VSG....loses her weight..............lives happily ever after!!

OK.....so it is my fantasy....but hey....I am entitled.

Here is my deal, I am looking for some help in finding a surgeon to perform a VSG.  I am from Eastern Canada where the wait list for one is 5-7 YEARS.  Yea ok....not this girl.

So I am researching the sites, the other provinces, the internet as a whole and like a VSG junkie looking for the BIG FIX.

That is right people...I am surfing the net, and taking names. 

So who has some names.....some clinics...some prices......you know the drill.

Thanks for listening everyone......and in advance.....thanks for any help anyone can offer in my search.

Cheers.............Jane

Welcome to the forum!

Try checking with Dr Savoie too - here is his info:

The New Brunswick DS surgeon is Marc E. Savoie MD, and his practice is in Bathurst, NB. He also performs Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) and Lapband. Dr. Savoie will start performing surgeries in early 2009 as soon he sets up his surgical team, and he performs surgery at the Chaleur Regional Hospital in Bathurst, NB. His contact information is: 506-548-9960 (phone number) and 506-548-1898 (fax number).

Good luck!

I believe they do VSG in Halifax at the QEII.  I think its Dr. Ellesmere.  VSG wasn't an option for me so I had to go to Moncton for the Band.  if you google weight loss surgery in halifax  or QEII hopsital you should find it.  I think.  Patsy

As of 2 days ago....Dr Ellsmere has over 1000 referrals.  His clinic is hoping to see 200 patients the YEAR.  So that makes at least a 5 year wait....same as Dr B in Moncton.     Just so you know, that statistic was given to me by his clinic.

So my search continues.

I can't add any additional information for you, but I have to say, I like your style, girl!
