Topic: RE: Interesting News about WLS in NS--you'll want to know about this!!!!
Hey guys, so I sent an email to Dr. MacDonald as I found his email online via Dalhousie.  Anyway, I literally got an email response from him right after I sent it and here it is, 

" To Chris Morton, The Dept of Surgery here in Amherst is part of the 
Dept in Halifax and the arrangement is that Dr Ellsmere and his team 
will do the new patients but in order to expedite the wait list there 
will have us do those patients with previous weight loss operations 
who need revision surgery. Infrequently Halifax requests us to do one 
of their wait list new patients e.g., someone who because of previous 
abdominal surgery is unsuitable for a laparoscopic approach or 
similiar reasons but otherwise obesity surgery is not part of our 
mandate. Yours truly,Dr. MacDonald. "

 Hey there, 
So I just called his office (extension 6386 incase anyone was wondering) and the surgical coordinator had indicated that he only does revisions and that they are not set up to do the WLS surgery itself.  Perhaps Dr. MacDonald would think differently, but what do you make of this?  I would almost love to talk to Dr. MacDonald himself about this.  Anyone have an email address (assuming he checks emails)?  
Thanks, Chris
