Process before Surgery?
Not so sure I will get there. I have a health issue that creates a mobility issue. Dr. Savoie said that my weight loss would be lower due to the lack of exercise. I hope that he is wrong.

Well the info session I attended included a social worker, a psychologist, the nurse and dietician. They discussed everything you need to know to prep for surgery including the shrink your liver detox diet. I followed that diet to a T and was so glad I did. I had the sleeve and was in the hospital for 5 days. They want to keep you to ensure that there are no issues. I bounced back really quickly and was up and walking around the same day. I did not even have to take any pain meds. Dr. Savoie and his team are angels as are the nurses and staff in Bathurst. I had my surgery in 2011 and I am now 135lbs which is a healthy weight and BMI for the first time in my life. I am so blessed that I had this surgery because it gave me a life never had before. Good Luck!
