TrishFB 2 Posted January 21, 2017 Hi there - I'm from Ontario too. Brand new to this site and looking to learn as much as I can! I'm at the "just starting to do research" stage. I've booked an appointment with my GP to discuss the option of vsg next week. I'm quite worried about wait times in Ontario and would love to hear others' experience (including those who travelled to have their surgery elsewhere).

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hi Trish, For me it has been a very long process. I was referred last March. I had orientation in June. At this point I expect to have my surgery in May, I will find out for sure in March. So my guess is 14 months start to finish. Also, I do not have the choice for VGS. At orientation which included a wide variety of BMIs that OHIP only covers RNY. The surgeon will perform VSG under some conditions, but that it was usually a decision they make in the operating room. I was really upset about this at first but now I have come around to preferring RNY. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know if ohip will cover sleeve or bypass for me, and every day, I change my mind about which one I'd prefer. So confused!!Looking forward to knowing you through this journey.
