Newbie here. I would like to know the cost (if any ) here in nfld? Is it covered by MCP if done for medical reasons?My medical History includes High b/p, heart attack, stroke, Diabetes, reflux, sleep apnea and a few others. I am in my low 50's and would love to lose this weight and get off soom of my medications. Presently weighing 356 lbs

 Just putting this out there for your information - most people here in NL are using this facebook group as it is much more private. Good luck!


The link to the Bariatric Surgery Support Group of NL ishttp://www.facebook.com/groups/195749753841874/ - you *should* be able to just follow the link and request to be added.

Not all people are in the Facebook group, so it would be nice to NOT deter anyone from using this webpage.  Thanks :)

 Hi new to this group and that link that you have been posting each time I see from you is not working.  So where are most of the newfoundlanders supporting each other here or on Facebook some clarification please.

I am new to this also, my referral went in back on Nov 7th 2011.  Just wondering how much of wait is to hear back from Rayleen.  I have been talking with her twice and the last time was back in December and she told me I was 59 out of 109 people.  Was thinking of giving her a call to touch base with her.  Anxious to get started with something.  Waiting sucks.
