OttawaAreaLady 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Hi all: I'm joining here in hopes to find posts from other Ontario Canadians, who have had the lap band surgery. I am very seriously considering having it done, but it looks like no one in Ottawa does the surgery so I may be Toronto bound. I have to see my Dr in a couple weeks for a check up and am going to talk to him about it. I contacted CIBO in Toronto and have spoken to them a bit, and they tell me the price is $18,000 and OHIP will not pay. How in the world have you been able to afford the surgery? I can't afford large payments, and if I take small monthly payments I'll probably be dead before I pay it all off. :thumbdown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacMadame 81 Posted January 25, 2009 Welcome to LapBandTalk! I'm from California, so I can't help you with your information Quest. We do have a section just for people from Canada though and I know at least some people have gotten OHIP to pay so it would be worth asking in that subforum.
