Hi. I am a new Canadian resident. I want to get the gastric bypass surgery. I'm interested in knowing how I can do this, if it's covered by OHIP and what do I do if I don't like my family doctor. Can I change?
It can be covered by OHIP if you qualify. Your family doctor needs to refer you to the Ontario Bariatric Network. It can be difficult to find a new family doctor but if you want to change you just need to find one that is accepting new patients.
