When I had my sleeve at Westmount Square in December, I was discharged to a convalescent home for a couple of days, with a nurse and nursing aides on staff. I also had an IV. Why is the convalescent facility no longer an option, I wonder? I am not crazy about having the intestinal portion of the DS and then being discharged to my hotel room. May I ask what the fee you are paying is? I'm wondering if the price is less since there is no longer the fee for the convalescent facility.

Dr Gagner is somewhere climbing some mountain (sorry don't remember which one or even where!!!) and he is not back home yet, which is probably why you haven't heard from him yet.

I am scheduled at a Westmount clinic yes! Maybe we'll see each other. They didn't give me the time, they said they would call a week prior for the admission time. But the date is the 25th for sure.
As per the sleeve VS de ds, I have no clue how my body will react, but for sure I want to try with a restrictive suregry prior to trying the malabsorptive one. So we'll see in a year from now how my body reacts to this!

I'm tentatively scheduled for a VSG to DS revision with Dr. Gagner on June 25th, as well, so maybe we'll meet!
I had the sleeve in December of last year and must confess that I haven't lost any weight since then. However, that may well be due to the fact that I've had restrictive-only procedures before (lap-band), so my metabolism is already ratcheted way down. I am someone *****ally needs the malapsorptive component because my body just seems to require very few calories to function. If this is your first bariatric surgery, you'll probably do great.
Are you having it done at Westmount Square?
