I had my first consult with the dietician, nurse and psychologist a few weeks ago. I was given a list of things to change in my diet and after I followed it for a month I am to call them back for the next "meeting". I am kinda nervous because I have hiatal hernia so they were not sure if I would be able to get the sleeve or not, they said I might have to travel to Fredericton for the bigger gastric bypass surgery. I really hope that is not the case because that surgery freaks me out. *sigh*
I was referred to Dr. Beausoleil in 2013 and my file was transferred to Dr. Theriault at some point. I did not receive a letter saying I was on their list or that my file had been transferred, only found out when I made a phone call to Dr. Beausoleil last summer to inquire about a few things. I suggest you call the Dr. to confirm that they have received your referral. Best of luck!
Anyone who was referred to moncton receive a letter after they were referred to say they were on the list?
Love hearing these wonderful stories! Good for you! You don't have far to go! Hope mine goes as well as yours!
hi!!! Anybody knows the names of all the bariatric surgeons in NB?? Do they consider your health issues or not?? It seems some people don't wait as long? My health is getting worse and I'm getting very worried... thx
Wow! I can't believe I had my surgery four months ago. Time sure flies.
Review:
Highest weight - 245.5
First appointment at the clinic - 230
Surgery date March 9/17 - 220
4 months post-op - 178.8
Only 33.8 lbs left to go to reach my goal of 145 lbs.
Hair loss started about 3 weeks ago. Still able to hide it, so that is a good thing. I have no regrets. Hair will grow back, but the pounds will stay away for ever!
I feel like a new person and it has just been four months. I can only imagine how wonderful it will be at my one year anniversary.
Feeling so inspired by this wonderful journey!
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.
