Wait Times For Vsg?

[TAB2012 10]

Hello,

Has anyone here done their VSG in Canada? Specifically Alberta? And what was the wait times? I'm looking at self-pay options because I assumed the wait time was really long. But I'd like to know if it's an option to do it here.

I had mine done in Red deer. Started the program in January and was sleeved July 25

Wow.. that was fast. I thought it would be around two years.

I know there's a program in Edmonton too. They are both different. With red deer you need to go to monthly weigh ins on top of all the test they do. You are required to loose 10% and keep a food journal that they check. Wait time varies on how you do.
