Was just reading on a site that the sleeve is not covered in Alberta??  It was an older post and just want to make sure it is.  Dr Doug Davey told me he's booking me in 6-8 weeks to have mine done in Edmonton, so excited just want to make sure its free....  I was so shocked that he told me he's booking me for surgery that I was to stunned to ask questions... didn't want to seem to eager...  I really feel like a failure that I have to go this route., but at the same time so excited.

 I will be having a sleeve surgery in a week in Edmonton under the Weight Wise Clinic.  It is definitely covered!
