Surgeons In New Brunswick

Hi there.  I was wondering if I could get the names of the surgeons & contact information for the surgeons currently doing weight loss surgery in the province.  

Thanks!

Hi alicia,

In Moncton, there is dr. Beausoliel, the is another doctor in fredricton, but can't remember his name, and then there is dr savoie and dr. S in Bathurst. I believe your family physician has to send a referral to the surgeon before you can see them but not 100% sure on that. Best thing would be to call your family doc!!!

good luck!!!

Thanks!! I was asking cause my family doc is fairly new and only knew of the one in moncton :) I wanted to be able to give him the other names too :) :)

My dr is dr savoie in Bathurst. It's been a long wait but finally is here!!  I have a ways to travel (3hr drive from here to Bathurst), but so happy it's here. The drive is worth it!!!

Hi, where you from? I'm from Memramcook also around 3 hr drive.  I got my call for first appt.  I'm really excited!!  which step are you?

Hi Cathy!!

im from Sussex and finally have my surgery date of June 8th. I had a couple of bumps in the road to where I am now but getting quite excited now. I start my boost on may 25th. 

Where are you in the process? You've had one appointment?

The staff in the bariatric clinic are soo nice and very knowledgable and approachable. You will enjoy them!

Hi, I just received my 1st call, never met with anyone!!  what happens at first apt? and how long before next one?  you must be so excited to be going for surgery...I would be...after 4 yrs of waiting this seems worse..lol

At your first appointment, you will talk to the nurse, Carole, then Diane, who will do a bit of an initial with you about if you are ready etc..and then you talk to Monique the nutritionist.  It's just an initial meeting to let you know what it's all about. You will later have appointments with each one. They are so good up there. Tons of support and if I have any questions, they are quick to return my calls and they give you all the time you need!  Once you get started in the process, it doesn't take long!  

Exciting eh?

The doctor's name in Fredericton is Dr. Boisvert.  When investigating your surgeon remember to also investigate their support system both before and after surgery.  Only my opinion but Dr. Beausoleil in Moncton and his team have the best support (before and after).  They also seem to have the strictest guidelines to follow (which is a VERY good thing).  I believe he also has the longest wait times but is well worth the wait.  Just my opinion:).  Good luck on your journey.
