I am curious. I had first meeting with Dr. Beausoleil in June and was told to expect anywhere from 9-12 months before the surgery. Is the wait time the same with Dr. Savoie??

I had DR B and I waited 11 months for my surgery after I first saw him and now after 17 weeks I'm down 105 pounds

I had my first appt with dr b at the end of mar 2013. I am still waiting for my surgery. Bookings at the hospital are saying I may have my surgery sometime in the fall. He must be getting even more behind!!

My family doc sent my referral to Health PEI and  Dr. B in August/13 and I got a call from Dr B Aug 13/13 to set up an appointment for Nov6/13, I went over for a scope March 16/14, I got a call to go to my all day session April1/14, and then for my psych appointment July 22/14...now I am waiting for the call to to sign my papers, then another call they booked surgery!  That's my experience so far...everyone is different but I hope you here something soon I know the wait i the beginning is torturous, but then it all starts happening and your OK!

I heard it really all depends on your insurance requirements and how quickly you complete those and get approval. The rest then is up to your surgeon and when they can schedule you. My doctor said anywhere from 1-6 months.
