I signed for RNY surgery yesterday with Dr. B.!! :)

Yesterday we ventured to NB starting at 5:30am and got back home to Glace Bay, NS at 9:00pm last nite. I signed for RNY surgery and Dr. B said he will see me within 2 months. Such a relief to know I am accepted for surgery and to get this close. Oh, by the way I lost 8 lbs from the last appt to this one as well. :)  So now I sit back and patiently wait for the call with my surgery date. I hope the time goes by quickly. I'm just so happy to get this far and I can't say enough about Dr. B's team; they are all wonderful caring people.

Take care everyone & try to stay warm  :)

Wow, congrats Debbie from the cape!! It will go really fast from here. You will be amazed. Before you know it , you'll be doing the 2 week fasting thing. I signed my consent on jan 12 and now barring any colds, I'll be having surgery on Feb 12.

YIPPEE !  great stuff.  you are on your way.  the 2 months will fly for sure.  Mine did and now I'm 3 or 4months post op.  Way to goooooooooooo!

That is just wonderful news!  I don't know about the time flying, because for me it seems to be crawling by.....but every day is a day closer. I am really getting so stoked, lets get stoked together!!!   Shall we dance? 

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. :)  I have been dancing since my first call in Dec.... :)  Happy Valentine's Day everyone if we don't chat till then.  Hugzzz

Hi Debbie,

How long did the appointment take? Can you tell me all about it so that I know what to expect? 

Well my appt was for 1 and I was done at 2:30. I went into the room and Lise weigh me. I filled out a paper about medical history, then I seen Dr. Beausoleil and he signed the papers along with me and we discussed the procedure. He then told me see you within 2 months.  Make sure you pull a number and register first.  :) 

Thanks! 

Suzanne, has he approve RNY for you? I know Charline wanted RNY but she is having the band. I don't know if that was her second choice or not. I did read somewhere she had originally was seeking RNY. I don't know what happened there. I heard he told someone it was band or nothing.
