Scheduling vs. Surgery Date: Savoie

I will be glad when I get a call from Dr Savoie's office for my first consult since I have had my referral in there since January 2nd.  I am hoping they call me this month or next for the first meeting.  I am excited at it all and can't wait.  WOOHOO!!!! 

I am just wondering as well how many people are now on his list and if he is booking and scheduling surgeries this month for the near future if he will also be booking some more consults as well???  So many questions, and I don't want to call the receptionist as she is frustrated with not having answers that she would like to be giving us.  Should I call her today sometime to find out where I am on the list for consults or just let it ride until things get up and running, and she can finally breath a sigh of relief?

Hugs to everyone

I know everyone is worried about calling the office but she is getting paid to answer these questions.  She shouldn't be getting frustrated at us but at the fact that she can't answer our questions and that's the system's fault not ours.  I've worked in a dr's office and I wouldn't be upset about the calls, I'd feel sorry for the patients.  So call away.  Now that's not saying you should call every day or even every week but I for one haven't called since early Feb so I have no qualms about calling sometime soon to confirm what's happening with my appt.

Thank you Casey I will call the office on Monday and see where I am on the list and to make sure that they have me as Lap Band.  I am so pumped for this and will be glad to be on the loosing side. 

You go girl!!!!  I know they are sick of me already.  I also need to have a consult(first visit) with Dr. Savoie. I don't even know if he thinks I am a candidate for wls.

hi Steph, I am sure you are a candidate for WLS just like the rest of us.  We have all struggled with weight issues most of our lives and have probably tried every and I mean every diet out there going and to no avail have probably lost some weight and then gained it all back and brought some of  their friends with them. 

Right now I have been trying Isagenix and have lost 7 pounds in a week there is no diet in this is is all natural and no by products in it and what it is you are detoxifying your body of all the crap we bring into our body each and every day with what we thought was good food.  What you do is have a whey shake in the morning and it tastes good not chaulky or yucky tasting like some shakes plus there are snacks you take inbetween that morning shake and the next shake at lunch or you can have a meal for lunch and then have your last shake at supper time you can switch it around with the meal so you can have one fort and knife meal a day and sacks every 2 hours in between  and if you are still hungry you can have another shake in the evening there is nothing wrong with that.  If anyone wants to know more information about this I can give you my web site to go to and read information on this and if interested we can go from there.  It is worth a try for us who are still waiting for the WLS and start on becoming healthier in the end.

Hugs

PS also for anyone who is lactose intollerant(sp) this is something that you can have as well and their are firends of mine who are diabetic and are using Isagenix and they have more energy and have brought their surgars down substantially and not dependant on medications so it is something worth looking into if interested contact me either on here or PM.  If you are unsure about this maybe ask youru doctor about it or just read on my web site about it...Here is my link to my website  check it out and let me know...  http://bethparks.isagenix.com

I am so happy for the news!
