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!

They are doing it out of Vancouver, BC....provincial medical covers it....and the wait time is about a year at the moment...

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.

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.
