New/Nouveau!!!Dr. Marc Savoie, Bathurst N.B.



Recommended Posts

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?

Hi Shipp9727,

Let me tell you, IT'S ALL WORTH IT. Even if right now I'm not gaining weight and I'm not losing weight either. I'm going to have my first fill July 20th and I'm anxious to have it. What help me most is the people around me who were supporting me by doing the same thing. You have to find what would help you the most and let people who cares about you help you or if it's something else go for it. It may be a calendar or maybe put money aside and buy yourself a thing you've been dreaming of for some times now. But just knowing your surgery is coming up and if you don't follow your diet they're going to know and you don't want the surgery to be pospone. So, I encourage you to prepare yourself psychologically. If I did it . . . you can. I'll be back from Saint John on the 15th so do be shy, you can write or call me.

I know..... I understand that my life is gona change completly after the surgery. I only have 11 days now too eat what ever I want.... It's funny I made a list af thing I want to eat B4 the surgery... lol... it's my own bucket list.... I tried the boost for the first time last week and its not that bad.... But I guess that after 2 week of it, juste seing the bottle will make me gag... lol...

I thing what i will miss more is you know on a hot summer day when your really really thirsty and you feel like drinking a half liter a Water in one drink. Ahhh welll I guess it all for the best, I need for once to take care of my heath

Hi Shipp9727,

I did the same thing, I ate what I liked best before my 2 weeks on Boost. The only thing that bothers me and it is still weird for me is I have to wait 15 minutes after I drank to eat and the 2 hours period after I ate. I was a big drinker of pop and I thought it would be the thing I would of have problems with but it's not the case. I haven't had pop since May 19th and I don't miss that.

I agree with you, you're the only one who can do something for your health. I tell myself that I have to love myself enough to do the right thing and having the lapband is the best decision I ever took.

Hope to hear from you again.

Hi Nancy,

I'm so happy for you. When you can see a light at the end of the tunnel it's wonderful. I didn't even regret 1 minute of my decision to have the lap band surgery. I would do it again at this instant. It's coming :thumbdown:

Shipp9727 I am sure your 2 weeks are boots will be perfect. I been drink for the last month 1 boots for days 5 days a week for my lunch at work. When they are very cold it not bad. Only boots for 2 weeks it quite a lot, but it so exciting at this point I am sure you will be GREAT.

Are you nervous for the operation itself??

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
