hello Iam also from nova scotia . And Iam waiting to hear from Msi.. dont know how long it takes for Msi to get the letter from the doctor and decide .. but hope it will be soon ) when did you hope to get surgery ... its hard to get message here i find .. someone send me message and i clicked on it and it went blank whaaaaaaaaa hope this one gets through annie:thumbup:

Hi there .. yes 4,500 is well worth it for sure .. And If I had to borrow the whole thing I will .. I am sick of sitting on the bed looking at the fat clothes I have that dont fit me ... sick to death of it! And since Iam 53 I guess I just make it :tounge_smile: And walking past a mirror and seeing a shadow case me , and finding out its my arse !!! Annie

I thought that there was a very long wait in N.B. that is why when i get the approval I will have it done in T.O. cause there is no waiting list .... so after all the holidays I am getting it done sometime the end of april....I hope:scared2:

well iam not happy about that .. But at least I will know what I need to borrow:frown: thanks ..Annie

hello thanks for the heads up ... At least now I will know what to expect and not be shocked! .. Can you tell me the cost of the band ..I know its 16000 for the whole thing ... thanks ...

hello there .. all i know is that they told me if the doctor wrote a note and I have the requirements for med .. Iam diabetic and have high blood pressure and calesteral and high bmi and bunch of other stuff... but I have company now if you want me to call anyone leave your number in private message and I will get back kto you . Thanks Annie

Hello I think I was talking to a Colleen ..I hope you are wrong ..but when i get the info for sure I will let you no for certain ..And I aslo told her that it was 16000 and she said yes that she knew all about it ..so now Iam scared whaaaaaaaaaaaa..I want you to be wrong ..let you know either way ! Annie:confused:

hello there ..yes the eating part is called "The Last Supper Syndrome" I have read that everyone gets it and feels the same ... annie

Wow! :w00t:yes that is very different ! I have all the pre-ops done here and I already questioned the weightloss part ..all will be ok ..Iam very happy that Iam not getting it done in moncton:thumbup:

Well never thought of that ! you are right only 30 days in april. I hope you can get it at the drug stors the optifast that is...and also I can really cut done last day of the holidays and start right on the 10th:cry_smile: but well worth it really !!!:whatchutalkingabout

Hi there ..yes once my MSI gets to me I will be done around april 30th give or take a day ..its just that I dont get back from the cruise until april 10th and have to do opti fast for 2 weeks before I believe .. anne

Hi there.. sorry it took a heart attack and other things for them to open their wallets ...shame on them ... I do have diabetis and hypertension and Rheumitoid Arthritis plus Gastris and you name it ...If they dont do it Iam sure I will not be on the planet long .. anyway thanks for the comeback.... annie

Hello ..its your doctor that has to send in letter To MSI then it does not take long ..however if you have it done in nova scotia or new brunswick it takes longer I hear .. That is why i will have it done in toronto .. less wait .. hope that helps ...annie

LOL that is very funny .. that is why i thought it was nova scotia..at any rate we are all here for the same reason .... thanks

hello ..is that in Virginia? I am in Kingston Nova Scotia Canada about an hour from Halifax. I will be going to florida for 8 weeks and 2 weeks after that I am on a 14 day cruise ..its just how it has worked out .. so that is why i will be having the surgery in april about the 29th or 30 th cant wait ..... :thumbup:

Hello there ... yes it is payed if the doctor says you meet the requirements .. I was talking directly to MSI and she told me that its ok to have it done in toronto and also she knows its 16000 ... so I am very excited !!!! yippie!

Hi again it looks like this is not a thread from nova scotia ... does not matter ..we will be on the same jurney:thumbup:

Hello there .. I will be getting it done in april .. nice to see some from nova scotia ... We can keep in touch !:thumbup:

HELLO THERE ....I will not be having the surgery until april 30/09 only because i have plans to travel and will not be around here much .. Iam from Canada I will have it all covered my my insurance for the lapband.. I will be having the lapband done in Toronto but i live in Nova Scotia so I will be getting my fills done in Halifax.. they are only 50 dollars you are paying quite a bit your prices are really out there ..glad I found this site ..I will be needing some buddies :thumbup:

Hello there I am new to this forum .. I have talked to MSI and they told me as long as the doctor sends in report for the lap band surgery its all paid for ..I live in Kingston Nova Scotia .. and when I have it it will be done at the clinic in toronto..It will be all paid ... hope that helps anyone who is thinking of having it done also ... Anyone out there from my area ?.... annie55:smile:

Hi there ! thanks for the note .. I have called MSI that is the health care in nova scotia .. they said if the doctor writes them to say i need it ..and I meet the bmi they will pay the 16000 that I need ... and so i have found doctor in toronto who does it .. have not got the name yet i have it written down someplace..but its the The Surgical Weight Loss Centre at The Plastic Surgery Clinic 1413 Hurontario St., Mississauga, ON and the place looks very nice .. I will most likley have it done the end of april... :thumbup: Has anyone else had there surgery done there?????? Anne:smile:

I will probably have to go to toronto? anyone on this site from down east? would love to talk with you ... good luck to all .I cannot wait to get it and have someone of a life back:rolleyes:
