  1. Wow under 6 months is amazing. I am set to have my Q&A meeting on the 16th and that will be 9 months in for me. Then I have to wait to meet Dr. Aggraval for my one on one to be put on his list for surgery. The Montreal General unfortunately fell behind during the summer due to 2/4 of the doctors being on vacation so now the surgery is taking people who registered around my time about 14 months.
  2. Breuxo, that is incorrect information. For example, I am in Montreal and 3 of my cousins have had VSG surgery in the last year and I am on the list too and none of them even discussed Bypass with their doctors. At the Montreal General they will not even suggest Bypass unless your BMI is extremely high or is required for some other medical issue. And the surgery is covered 100% by Quebec medicare provided you have a BMI of 50 or 35-40 BMI if you have either sleep apnea, high blood pressure and few others I can't remember. The doctor will make his suggestion based on your health and weight but you can decide which doctor you want to perform the surgery and which surgery you want. It may vary in other provinces as well but Ontario's rules definitely do not apply here in Quebec.
