Got a date! Dr. Nagi Safa

 Well just as I was researching Mexico route, I got a call from Martine offering me a date on October 16th!!!  

It's with Dr. Nagi Safa...has anyone had him?

I'm starting Optifast on Monday, and going for all my tests and nutrition class on Monday.

So scared, excited, nervous and happy all at the same time.  

Life is funny.

I've never heard of him..

When I googled: 

Dr. Nagi Jean Safa

"Dr Nagi Jean Safa completed his residency training at the
University of Montreal General Surgery Program.
He then performed a fellowship in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, and Minimal Invasive Surgery, at the Sacred
Heart Hospital of Montreal, which is the largest Weight Loss Surgery center in the Montreal area, and one of the busiest in Canada. Currently, Dr Safa is a Surgeon at the Sacred Heart Hospital of Montreal, and is involved in the training of residents and surgical fellows. Dr Safa performs frequently many bariatric procedures, including roux en Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, and gastric
plication. He has a particular interest in Laparoscopic revisional surgery including banding, bypass and sleeve.His current research interests include clinical outcomes from
various bariatric surgery procedures and investigations on the impact of bariatric surgery on Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome X."

Came up on the "Montrealobesityclinic" site...

When I had mine Dr Denis did the surgery and Dr Garneau "assisted" , so it's reassuring that another Dr will be assisting him... also, I don't know about you, but I find Rockland have a fairly sound practice, and I'm faily sure they don't let "just any dr" work in there practice ;) Just my opinon for what it's worth..

SOOO VERY excited for you! Congrats girl! 

**Moving over to make room on the bench for a new skinny *****!** :D 





 

 WOW,   am very excited & happy for you that you got your call.  I know you have been waiting a long time.      

  Will be thinking of you.  

  Am getting very hopeful now that I may be soon. :-)

Take care Elena.  

Hi Elena,

Super fantastic news!!!

Just relax and enjoy the journey...you've been waiting a very long time for this and now it's almost here.

Wanted to let you know (since you started a thread on the OptiFast) that I have some left also but only vanilla. The chocolate is the best but the vanilla I use to flavor it with sugar free syrop and was also good. If you need let me know.

Keep us posted...and sliding my "skinnier" behind over near Barbara's to make room for you on the bench!!

Hiya! Congrats!! I was just operated this Tuesday by Dr. Safa. My doctor is really Dr. Denis however , both did were present fort surgery since I was a revision case. I had a Lapband installed three yrs ago and did not do well at all. You are in great hands with Dr. Safa. He did the follow up with me every morning after my operation and he gives you the time of day when you have concerns to discuss. Be sure to follow pre-op instructions and you'll be just fine!
Good luck !

 congrats,enjoy the journey your starting now!and there are some amazing ppl here that will be here to support you,
so happy you got a date!!!
