thats great news!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would go for the consult as well...my brother had surgery and a friend with Christou....he is reputable......but I like the way I have been treated with Dr. Garneau......
Hoping to find out this week about December or January .....
I was told actually 18 months ago from Christou's secretary, that he is no longer taking patients who dont pay cash........ he is retiring, and thus will not take anymore.
Curious about his consult............... let me know.....

Hi Ada,
Like everyone said, I would go and see what Dr. Christou has to offer. However, if he suggests the RNY like he is famous for, I would really consider going with Dr. Garneau's VSG proposal instead. It is a less risky, less complicated and it clearly works. I don't think you want to take pills every day and have to watch everything you eat. For me, the VSG was the choice for me and I'm happy that's what I chose. But do go and see what Christou has to offer. All I can say from my experience is that Garneau did an amazing job and I'm glad I had him as a surgeon. Please do let us know what you chose.

Hi, Positive news.
I agree with Ana, go too both places and take the first one that comes along. Or at very least go see Dr. Christou to see what he has to say. No need to make any decisions just yet.
Good luck

Hey Ada!
That sounds like good news! They are both reputed surgeons, so if I were you, I'd have my pre-op done with both and go wherever I get called for surgery first!
In any case, see you on the losers' bench pretty soon!

Topic: Got an "interesting" call...
Hi everybody,
Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!
Last week I got a call from the "original" surgeon that I was suppose to see (Dr.Christou) that's been about 5 years waiting for a consult. She asked me if I was still interested and I told her..."well it depends what you have to tell me".
She told me that they were booking consults for november. I asked her if after the consult I would need to wait anothe 1-2 years (as she had originally told me) and she said "no...we'd book your surgery in december/january" This is crazy...now if I want I have a second surgery...I got a feeling that maybe the government finally is starting to put money into bariatrics as was promised.
So my question is this...do I just stick with Dr.Garneau ( had all the pre-op and I was told december/january as well) or go see Dr.Christou?
My gut is telling me to stay with Dr. Garneau but I don't want to miss an opportunity if Dr.Garneau keeps postponing...
Thanks guys!
Hugs,
Ada
