Hello everyone,
I really am having problems fining accurate information about this. Apparently Capital Health in Alberta has a weight loss program that may included lap band surgery if necessary. :biggrin: My Doctor here in BC has referred me to this program, and I'm on a waitlist - since last August. They said I would have to wait 1 year or so. I called the clinic and they said there are no fees and that BC MSP will cover this procedure :wink2:- someone else said that Alberta is experimenting with this policy at the moment - when I called them a second time they reconfirmed my information , but said that things are in review and they would contact me if their policy changes. :Dancing_wub:
So here I am - I have Poly-cystic Ovary Syndrome and insulin resistance - my BMI is 37...I think I'm on a wait list - but it appears that things could change - I really want this surgery - anyone have any advice, thoughts or suggested steps I could take to ensure I get the surgery?:Dancing_chief:
Cheers,
K
