Hi Liz,

What I heard is Dr. Savoie is almost done the ones he saw in October and he will start the November ones soon. He's coming back from his vacation on the 20th. I got my band June 3rd with Dr. Savoie. I actually was the first one to have it in Bathurst and I don't regret for a bit my decison and I would do it all over again. Right now, I'm waiting to see Dr. Savoie on the 20th for my first fill and I'm looking forward to it because right now I'm not losing but I'm not gaining either (that's a good thing though). Can you see the light at the end of your tunnel? It's coming for you and you're going to be so happy. We're also planning on having a support group in Bathurst. I'll let you know as soon as I know the details. It won't be before September.

Hello,

I am happy to hear that all is well with you. I haven't heard back from his office nor the hospital. My request was sent in back in december 2008.

I really hope to see him soon so that i can get this process done really soon.

Do you think I should call and ask or just wait it out?

Thanks for keeping me up with the latest news.

Liz

Hi Liz,

I would call, you have nothing to lose. Mind you, his secretary is not the best one to ask. I remember when I call she told me things that weren't true. I would call the bariatric clinic instead. The no. is: 544-3710

Let me know if they give you any date. I have one of my friend who went in December too and she's wondering like you when they are going to call her.
