Bathurst

Yay congrats!!! Thats great news... Im so so happy for you.. Make sure you keep us posted, I look forward to hearing all about your journey... B-)

Yayyyyy!!! OMG you must be sooo excited! 

WooHoo!!!!!

I was there today for mine.

 

Which dr in Bathurst did you see? We're you there for long? Did they give you an idea of how long before the surgery?  Sorry so many questions!

Sorry just seen you posted all this in another place.

I saw Dr. Savoie. The appointment is about 2 hours long. You see the bariatric nurse who takes your vitals and medical history, then the dietician, and then the doctor. 

I have the information session on March 26th. I asked how long before the surgery and he said a couple of months or sooner. However when I spoke to his secretary she said that it all depends on the availability of the operating rooms.

 

 

Bariatric Clinic  544-3306

Office that has the referrals: 548-2727

 

My referral was from March 9/09 and I have my consult on March 1.  It shouldn't be too long for the March referrals to get done. I remember feeling frustrated many times because I was getting different answers as well. I know it seems like a long time and the veterans on this board would tell me that it will go fast. Of course I didn't believe them but now that my consult date is here it seems like the wait wasn't that long. Weird huh?

Did they tell you it would be savoie or the other new dr in Bathurst? They told me that the two surgeons pick off the same list

 

Hmmm...I wasn't told who it was. I have to check my letter again. I thought that the second doctor trained with Dr. Savoie and then went to Fredericton?

No it is a different dr. There is actually 4 that is doing surgeries in Nb now. 

Dr. Savoie in Bathurst Dr. Semerjian in Bathurst Dr. Beausoliel in Moncton  Dr. Boisvert in Fredericton    Dr. Boisvert is a general surgeon that works in Fredericton now and has been there for a few years but is just starting bariatric surgeries.
