letter from the minister of health about the lab band

uh.....well, big surprise there. That is the standard response. They don't investigate.

I hope you weren't expecting anything other than what you got.

Dr Orr has also noted that he is unaware of any large studies wherein bariatric lap band surgery has been compared with other bariatric surgery.

Apprently Dr. Orr has not looked to hard. Too bad for you, but not suprising considering Canadian health care systems that focus on treatment of problems rather than prevention.

Well, at least you don't have to worry that "maybe I didn't have to pay for it myself... maybe if I'd done something." You tried, and good for you. Now keep saving, and get your surgery.

And yeah, Dr. Orr looked real hard, I'm sure.

I'm sorry you didn't get the response you were looking for, but I'm not surprised. Think positive and never give up.
