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!

I am from Mississauga, not sleeve tho, lapband, and It is not covered :(

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?
