That's awesome!  When it happens it happens fast...so happy for you.  The 25 is the day before my surgery and the last day of the liquid diet!  So excited.  All the best!

Exciting, eh?  The waiting is tortuous at times, but now seems to fly by with so much to do before my surgery. Where is your surgery happening?

The doctor's name in Fredericton is Dr. Boisvert.  When investigating your surgeon remember to also investigate their support system both before and after surgery.  Only my opinion but Dr. Beausoleil in Moncton and his team have the best support (before and after).  They also seem to have the strictest guidelines to follow (which is a VERY good thing).  I believe he also has the longest wait times but is well worth the wait.  Just my opinion:).  Good luck on your journey.

Topic: And the process has started

Hello all, I have been following this forum since I was referred 3 years ago. I am not starting my own journey. I have filled out my paper our out.  I go for my blood work and dietitions appointments tomorrow. This is the beginning of an exciting journey. Hopefully I can get everything done quick and get on with the surgery.

My dr is dr savoie in Bathurst. It's been a long wait but finally is here!!  I have a ways to travel (3hr drive from here to Bathurst), but so happy it's here. The drive is worth it!!!

Hi alicia,

In Moncton, there is dr. Beausoliel, the is another doctor in fredricton, but can't remember his name, and then there is dr savoie and dr. S in Bathurst. I believe your family physician has to send a referral to the surgeon before you can see them but not 100% sure on that. Best thing would be to call your family doc!!!

 

good luck!!!
