Hi dhkim1,
I’m not from Alberta so I’m afraid I can’t help you with your survey. However, I have an idea on how much bariatric surgery costs in India. It costs approximately $6000. You can view a more detailed cost here: http://surgerytimes.com/obesity.html. On the other hand, if you are going to do the surgery here in Canada, it will cost around $16000 to $20000. Because of quality, many people are still considering to avail Treatment abroad Canada.
I hope I was able to help you
