Cindy, Annie, Keith, Clempier any of you guys still on anymore? Interesred in everyone's progress! I am still waiting patiently......

Hi When was your first consult? I am waiting for my initial consult.

Thanks Shipp9297

I am getting so discouraged thinking that all these patients who seen Dr Savoie last October are now just seeing him again, I just had my referral 2 months ago so I can't imagine waiting until next year! Does anybody know how many he does a week or is he doing all of the other surguries now (sleeve ect.) or just lap band? How many times do you have to meet with Dr. Savoie before the surgury?

you must be really getting anxious! Are you nervous?

missy 321 have you got your date yet??? any news?

Clempier, have you heard how many surgeries Dr Savoie has done now or any news at the diabetic clinic?

So glad to hear from you, We were begining to worry! 30 lbs thats great, you must feel so good. Keep us posted on your first fill, and keep up the good work!

No word on any consult yet cindy?

Clempier, how are you doing?

No, I am from the Moncton Area. Yeah I know I was thinking about trying the boost too, It is probably much easier though knowing you have to do it,instead of just trying it...my willpower is not real good ,that is why I am in this situation to begin with....haha Marcie

Hi Cindy When did you and Annie see your family dr.? I just seen mine June 1st so I am probably looking at quite a wait!!! I am so impatient , I would love to have the surgury tomorrow.... I wonder how many patients he sees in a week? His receptionist told me he seen alot of patients last fall and he is now doing their surgeries this summer and the referrals he is recieving now he will see them in the fall. Marcie

Hi guys, When you are on the boost,is it like a liquid milkshake? Is there any boost bars or anything else? Is the 2 weeks on boost just to lose weight before surgury or what is the reasoning behind it? Sorry so many questions? One more...Clempier have you spoke to the others that were operated on the same day since their surgury to see how they are doing? happygirl9

Congrats Shipp9727 Wow... So how long ago did you you see your family Dr to send the referral to dr savoie? That seems pretty quick! you must be so excited!

I am 33 my weight is 298, I have swollen legs , alot of medical family history(my father is overweight and had 6 vessel bipass(open heart) at age 54 and both parents are diabetic. My Blood Pressure and sugar is ok now but it is just a matter of time. I am a nurse and I work long shifts (12 -18) hours in the operating room on my feet,and my knees and feet ache terrible . I just hope they will cover the surgury so I can begin my new life!!! Any helpful hints you have learned along your journey??To speed things up? Do you know what the waiting list is for Dr Savoie now?

Hi When you first got your referral from the family Dr... who looked after applying to medicare or how do you go about the cost?? Is it the family Dr that contacts medicare or Dr Savoie? Or myself? happygirl9

I went today to visit my Dr. to get a referral for Dr Savoie, I can't wait I am so excited about my decision. I log on to this site everyday waiting to see what Clempier's updates are. You must be so happy and excited. Keep us posted while we are so patiently waiting!! The receptionist told me that he was not seeing any new referrals until Fall?? And was just doing surguries of patients he had seen last fall, Is this true? Was anyone told the same thing? I also had a referral to Dr Beausoliel at the GDH but his wait time is 6 and half years!!! Is that not crazy!!! Has any one had a consult with Dr Savoie lately?? happygirl9
