Dr. Theriault

Hi guys

new member here. I have my consult with Dr. theriault in a few days and I'm excited and nervous!! I'm wondering how long is it between consult-surgery.

Heres a back story.

I had a consult with Dr. B in August 2011 and in May 2012 I went to the info session. I got scared and asked for more time to think about my decision for surgery. In Nov 2012 his clinic informed me that I had til Nov 2013 to make a decision or they will have to close my file. In Oct 2013 I got pregnant and I didn't get the chance to get my surgery. Fast forward to April of this year. I ended up at the ER due to breathing problems and swelling. I got sent to a lung specialist who saw how bad my weight was affecting my breathing and my swollen legs and mobility. He was able to get me a call for a consult within a few weeks and I finally go in a few days. I have been on the waiting list for years for Dr. Boisevert in Fredericton and with the surgeon in Bathurst as well. I'm very grateful I am able to meet with Dr. Theriault on such short notice.

has anyone had surgery with Dr. theriault? I'd be interested in hearing from you!

That was really fast for your consult with Dr. Theriault. I had a gastric bypass with Dr. Theriault on March 9 of this year. I was on the waiting list for almost 7 years before I got my first call. It was 9 months from my fist consult to my surgery. It was well worth the wait. I am down 48.8 pounds since surgery. I feel great and would do it again tomorrow. Hands down the best decision I have ever made for myself and my future.
