It will be a year for me, this month or next, since I was referred. I got so tired of waiting and had gained 35 - 40 lbs just waiting, so I contacted Catherine McCain and have been seeing her since November. I wanted to at least get back to where I was when I was referred. Thankfully, I am back where I started now. I am anxiously waiting to hear from Dr. Boisvert's office.....just want to get his over with....Maybe we will be together! Good luck on your progress!
My sister was one of her first sleeve patients last year and I can tell you she's LOVELY. I was with my sister in the hospital and for post op visits and she's sweet, very kind, warm. You'll love her, she's a great addition to the team and especially for this specialty field of medicine.
There was someone in my education session who had had the VSG and was having the second surgery but I never seen / talked to her again but I know it's certainly done. Keep us posted, it's all informative.

My surgery at the George Dumont Hospital. It will be three months from my all day session to surgery.
Where is your surgery? How long after your all day session to surgery date was it?
Hi, I am three years out and have been talking to Dr B about a second surgery. Has anyone else on here been referred to the new surgeon on his team and or is anyone already planning to have a DS vs the VSG?
