Sorry but don't come here very often. I have used Dr. Nandagopal for all my plastics. He doesn't work with OHIP but prices have been stable for years. There is also a FB page for Ontario plastic surgery group. PM me if you want if you cannot find it.

Christa, Please look below my post to see info someone else has posted.. Hang in there. I had surgery that as an open surgery more than 25 years ago.. I have been close to goal for 23 years...( a couple of stressful times produced a gain, hen stress was relieved eight came down.. Now the surgeries are not as hard, they do require one jump through hoops- go thru a process to get . start counseling for depression now, and also do a diet diary.. You Must know where you are beginning.This is the first step.. begin to make changes one item at a time.You are worth the efforts that become the journey!

There are certain criteria you have to meet to qualify for bariatric surgery in Ontario. This procedure is covered by OHIP but the supplements you will need post op are not covered by insurance as the are typically over the counter.
Your doctor will need to make a referral the Bariatric Centre in your area and they will invite you to an information session.
They do ask for your history of dieting and weightloss efforts and there are many appointments before you actually get referred to a hospital for consideration for the surgery.
Good luck.

I take:
Calcium w. D3 - 2 tabs, twice a day, away from caffeine
B12 - sublingual 1 tab every other day
Iron supplement
Zinc Citrate
Magnesium Citrate - as needed - I get bad leg cramps at night
Multi Vitamin - 1 tab every morning
Can you reach out to Humber River to find out what labs your doctor should be ordering - the list is pretty extensive. They should be done annually.

Hello, it's been a number of years sadly. Yup, I am one of those who kept it all off (lost 185lbs) and now through COVID..yes it's a bad excuse..have gained back 30 lbs.
Help. I have moved twice, have no idea where any of my binders from Humber River are and could use some help with the diet yes I know I should KNOW this...as well as the vitamin protocol. I have a new GP who doesn't understand or seem to know much about an RNY and what I need as well as what needs to get looked at in my blood work.
I am feeling absolutely terrible...I could use some help if anyone out there wouldn't mind?
Thanks in advance, Annette

thank you- will head to drugstore today to pick up some zinc! I have been using biotin and that has helped quite a bit!
