Just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone *****sponded and PM'd me. I know she will be very happy to connect with you. You guys are the best.

It depends on BMI as well. High BMIs he will do in 2 parts.

Thanks Greg. <3

You are not alienated. In some cases, especially in Toronto/Hamilton, some surgeons freak out about touching you because they don't know what your surgeon has done to you, they can't perform DS. Ottawa has not been an issue. Kerry is the only person I know of who was really refused treatment for sevear pain, so she drove to MI and Dr L operated and fixed her; she had to self pay for that and OHIP did not reimburse her even though they refused treatment. This was for a bowel issue long after her surgery and there is no reason why she shouldn't have been helped in Ontario.

Worst case, if I was every in a bad situation, I would drive myself to Quebec and see with Dr Gagner or Dr Mareau and his team and have Quebec bill OHIP back ;)

Bumping, still looking for some recent patients.

Thanks.

Yes he's in India. I'll pass on your post to him and direct him to you. Thanks so much.

Who was it that had DS in India? Someone contacted me looking for info and I can't remember who it was. I'd like to put them in touch.

Thanks,
Bev

Excellent post Charity.

I take 2 in a batch and space my supplements out about 1.5 hours apart.

Happy Surgiversary Val, loved your post. Wishing you much success and happiness with the new business.

Hi Michelle,

I am the admin of DS Facts. I updated the site recently with a few newer surgeons that people recommended to me and had a long track record of patients around here. I contacted the offices for confirmation and once they responded with the info I requested, I added them to the list.

I'm always happy to look at new surgeons to add to the list. It helps if people contact me with as much info about the surgeon and contact info they have.

Not all surgeons are on my list, that's true. Some are left off because it is their choice, some because of continual complications that make me uncomfortable in recommending them, and some because they are newer and are gaining experience, which is fantastic, we need more DS surgeons.

I keep as up to date as I can but I have a full time job and other responsibilities, so sometimes it takes a bit to get things moving. Such is life =)

So thanks for bringing your surgeon's name up. If you want to PM me the info I will look into it.

Thanks.
Bev
