Mary, you mention there are 3 criteria that must be met.  What are they, please.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

Congrats Mary. I'm so glad that your hard work paid off. Can you PM me with the criteria and what you did as far as documentation so I have that info for the Plastics board please.

Can you use your approval with any plastic surgeon now?

Hijack-Linda, is there an Ontario plastics board? I've been on a plastics forum here but it seems to be like the main board with only US content. Am I looking I the right place? Thanks for helping.
