is he a new bariatric surgeon???

From what I have heard he has been for over a yearand a half. And doesn't take very high risk patients.... I don't think he has psychologist or make you see one but you do have to see the dietician and be cleared by her. I don't think he requires as much as far as preparing stuff as the other 2 doctors 

Awesome thanks so.much for the info ... Let me know how you make out 

Hi,  im having surgery with Dr boisvert Nov 6. Im so excited.  The dietician is really nice and dont be nervous. You have to see her twice before seeing dr. Boisvert.  

Ok so Let me start from the Begining.....I put in my referral with Dr. Boisvert in spring of 2013. I got the call from to start the procedure in June of 2014. Filled out all the paperwork and was given a huge packet of info including what the diets leading up to and after and how long they would be etc. They told me to take it all home read it thoroughly and quit smoking. Dr. Boisvert will not do a surgery for any smokers and you have to be 6 months quit. The receptionist told me that from this point it was up to me how far away the surgery was she said "you could be 6 months from tomorrow if you quit today" and she made it clear that cheating here or there was not an option for this Doctor. I will be honest I went home and cried because I didn't think I could quit. I began cutting back right away and decided that if i wanted this then I needed to quit, I friend suggested I try Vaping for the transition and WOW! It worked, Vaping is so much better I moved to vaping and just kept telling myself its the same thing the same thing... and it tastes so much better... over time I find I'm using it less and less but still dependent on it. I know its not as good as quitting and please keep your negative comments to your self if you not a Doctor... I have heard them all. I'm not inhaling tar and 3-4,000 chemicals. Just 4, 2 of which are in asthma inhalers, nicotine and food grade flavoring. I watch the local guy make it I know whats in it. I dont know how other do but this is what I know.  My aunt is a respiratory therapist as she said its about 80% better then smoking. As you can see I am a little defensive about it because I have been raked over the coal by many many people. 

So anyway back on track, I wanted to take the time to be sure that I was not going to pick up smoking again and just keep delaying myself. So after a full week of vaping I broke and smokes a few cigarettes and it was good, But I didn't find that all that different. Except my flavorings like watermelon, chocolate cheesecake, apple jolly rancher... taste really really good and I still feel like I'm fill my urge and I'm not add extra pounds like I normally do when I try to quit. The last time I smoked was August 2nd ......79 days ago! Well then I was worried that maybe the Doctor wouldn't consider it as Quit all together.  So I didn't call back tell last week, that was when I found out for sure that it was ok. 

So here is why I'm freaking out..... I have blood work this week and see the dietitian next week, I spoke with her on the phone today and she wants me to begin the food journal this week and bring it next week. I'm so nervous about seeing her that I could puke. I am an honest person except when it comes to food... I can justify anything I eat but when i have to be honest with someone I have a really hard time. I know I need to make some big changes and I'm ready to but I'm nervous about all the unknowns.

Has anyone out there had their surgery with DR Bosivert in Fredericton??
