FINALLY

Just got home from work and found a voice mail from Sandra at the BARIATRIC clinic.  Does anybody know if she is from Dr.Beausoleil or Dr. Savoie's clinic?

i am full of such conflicting emotions right now! This is the call I have been waiting for for over 5 years.  Not sure if I want to cry or vomit.

I don't recognize the name from the Moncton clinic?

Dr. Savoie's

Hello karasmom, it is from the clinic in Bathurst, Sandra is the receptionists, and so so  friendly. They all are from Bathurst .From here on in everything will start moving faster. I know how you felt. I was you back in June when I finally after waiting almost 5 years, got my call, and I just came back from Bathurst from getting all my tests done. And meeting with the Anthesiologist in less then 2 weeks. Getting very excited!!!

Wow!  That is fast!  I would really like to get as much done before the snow flies as I can since I will be travelling from Sackville.  Any suggestions of things I should ask at or bring to my first appointment?

All you need is your medicare card, nothing else. Everyone that works in the clinic is so friendly, and make you feel very comfortable. All I can tell you is feel free to ask anything,they are very helpful. I didn't really have alot of questions, because I did all my research over the years on each surgery, pros and cons of each. But just getting in to finally meet them, is a foot in the door. Good luck in your journey, moves very fast from your first visit on. I am meeting with the anesthesiologists on Tuesday of next week, and I'm getting very anxious now:) Keep me posted.

How long after your first appointment until you got to this point maggie9247 ?

I went one the list back in October '09, never heard nothing till this year in June, went for my first appointment in July, got called 3 weeks later to get a sleep apnea test done. Had it done the following day. Back to Bathurst Sept 2nd, went back the following week on the 9th, and then went for information session 2 weeks later on Sept 22nd.Got called the following day to get all my tests done, which everyone has to get done.( Bloodword, ECG, Pulmonary and Chest X-ray)  Had all them done October 1st, and now I am meeting with the anestesiologists on Oct 14th. Getting really close now. I know the wait is long , but I always said good things come to those who wait. And soon as you start meeting with everyone , it to will go by really fast. Good luck and keep me posted.

When you seen the anesthesiologist, do they give you an idea on when you maybe will get your call? Is yours Dr Savoie or Dr Semerjian?  I have my Anesthesiologist appt in November. I am getting so anxious.
