Any Canadians? Ontario?



Recommended Posts

Hi. New member. Live in Ancaster, Ontario. Pre-op. Interested in hearing abt people's experiences at St.Joe's in Hamilton. I'm also not sure at what point in the process OHIP makes it's decision for coverage. Feel free to DM if you wish.

I don't think the wait times are any longer than 2 months for self-pay. It depends on the clinic and surgeon. Most of my research suggests 2-3 months max. Hope this helps.

I'm in Toronto. F in early 30s. I just have my nurse practitioner appt this month. I have no idea how long the wait is before I get a surgery date. No one said anything about 5 years! Lol

Just curious if you had surgery? I'm in Ancaster Ontario and I'm wondering abt wait times. There doesn't seem to be a lot of Canadians on this app.

I'm from Toronto. ...had my sleeve done Aug 29th....big learning curve however happy I did it!!!

Where did you have the sleeve done? How has your healing been? All good- I hope. :) Did ohip cover it and if so what was your wait time from the dr referral to the Bariatric centre to the surgery? Sorry to inundate you with questions- it's just rare that I find someone from Ontario!

That seems so long! I'm still waiting for my orientation appointment. I'm eager to get things going but also wanting to take the time to prepare myself. How has the process been for you?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
