Any recommendations for VSG surgeons in Canada



Recommended Posts

The wait in canada is super long if you are doing it through provincial insurance (something like 2 years) if you do it on your own and pay out of pocket then the surgery is about 16,000. My cousin wanted to do it and I suggested that she go to mexico to do it. With a reputable surgeon it is about 8,000 not including air tickets. I'm having my surgery tomorrow in Dubai with a dr called Abdulsalam Al taie. He's iraqi born and trained in Great Britain. He's a very reputable surgeon having done over 900 surgeries and was one of the first to do it here in Dubai..... He's charging 40,000 AED. I wish you the best!

Dr Gagner in QB is brilliant and I have had phone conversations with him. You can email him for a quote and he will call you. He is one of the leaders in WLS and everyone just raves about him. Good luck.

Thanks guys. will look at the website.

Italianlady13, 40,000 Dhs. it is not bad for Dubai. I have discussed the op with my doctor and he thinks I am not a good candidate at 213 pounds so I am confused.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
