hi! I have heard there are 2 new bariatric surgeons coming to Bathurst this summer to replace the one leaving. Does anybody know if this is true?

Not sure about Bathurst but there's an additional surgeon starting with Dr. B. next month. My sister, *****cently overcame got cleared through the psych assessment / consult (just waiting to sign off on surgery now) received a call in the last week or two asking if she was interested in having the new physician perform her sleeve surgery (she's been working in Quebec the past two years). She'd be looking at a 6 - 9 month wait with Dr. B. or she could have it in August with the new one, so she chose the new. This will really help move things along in Moncton!

I had a routine six month follow-up appointment with Dr. B. last week and Monique said the new surgeon is so, so nice. It sounds like she'll be a nice compliment to Dr. B.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure but it can't hurt to have it in in both places. The wait has been pretty extensive in Moncton (4 - 5 years) and the process has been taking much longer then when I went through it just three years ago (8 months then vs 2 years now, after your first consult). One would think having the second surgeon would speed things up.

Have you had the surgery as of yet? How was your experience in Bathurst? I meet the surgeon next month and i'm a little nervous about...well...everything!
