Hi all!! :cursing:

I am new to the site and I am new to the process of being banded. I have not met with the surgeon yet as there is a long waiting list. Can anyone tell me what to expect with this Dr. and the whole process??

Thanks :cool:

Hi Kmason,

I was banded by Dr.Beausoleil on April 13 and he is very good. He does have a long waiting list. I waited about 4 years before I met him for the first time last year.

My first meeting with him was very quick meet and great. He asked a few questions and recommended the LapBand vs the other surgeries. (The LapBand was the only one I wanted).

A month or so later I went for the info day session with other patients getting the surgery. The day was full of info on all the surgeries, recovery, diet, physical activities. You meet the nurses, dietitian, physiotherapist and psychiatrist.

A few weeks later I went to sign my consent papers.

In march this year I got a call for my date April 13!!! I was sooo exited!!! Went in for a weight in and info to start my liquid diet for 2 weeks before.

The surgery went very well. I've lost 20 pounds so far.Not as much as others because I can't really exercise. Buy still very happy :bored:

I'm going for my first adjustment next week so I might start loosing more after

All in all Dr.Beausoleil is very thorough and strait to the point kinda doc. You see more the nurses and the dietitian than the doc. The wait sometimes at George Dumont is for appointments but worth the wait! lol

Hope this help some....If you any other questions ask away!
