TAB2012 10 Posted November 27, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nathalie 3 Posted January 4, 2013 Where do you live in Alberta? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathalie 3 Posted January 4, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
