questions

Hi... Just waiting to go to mu first consult with Dr B Nov 6....really anxious but excited....can anyone tell me what happens at the consult?

Dr B?? Where is he?  Not sure what his first consult is like. Are you from PEI? this is the NS forum, so consults here  and the manner in which their program works may be different.

In Nova Scotia the surgeon who does the VSG is Dr Ellsmere in Halifax. There is also a surgeon in Amherst as well who does revisions by the name of Dr MacDonald.

If a referral is sent to Dr Ellsmere for WLS  their basically is no consult with him until you are accepted into the Weight Loss Program...wait time for the program can be up to 10 years depending on co-morbidities. Once approved by the Team you then see Dr Ellsmere to sign for the surgery. and any final questions you may have.

Referrals for consults with Dr Ellsmere there is a wait... and once again depending on need is what determines the wait.

Dr MacDonald is a bit different, he only works so many months on and off so not really sure there.
