is VSG covered or not covered by OHIP???? I've thought all along that it was, but read a few things recently that got me confused??

vsg may be covered under certain cir****tances. rny is if you meet the criteria. The criteria for vsg is more stringent. This is is a convo you need to have with a surgeon. Don't be confused and don't go by hear say (like my post)! Talk to your surgeon. Ian

Not only for the reasons you mentionned....some folks have gotten a VSG because of other abdominal surgeries precluded having an RNY which requires re-routing of the intestines.

Good luck!

VSG seems to be covered more and more lately. If you want it, fight for it! I love mine.

Best wishes!
