Thank you in advance

Hello

Depends where you live.  I live in Edmonton, and I have went to Dr Toy and Dr Davis.  Dr Davis also does Bariatric Surgery..he did my panni.  Dr Toy is a plastic surgeon (who also does pannies but wasn't available at the time I had mine done). Dr Toy has done revision to my pubis, and my right hip, also my inner thighs.

Highly recommend him.  He specializes in bariatric patients.

 Excellent thank you so much .. Definitely gives me a starting point :0)

Just so you know...pannies are covered through AHC...anything else usually isn't...the only way other parts of the body can be covered is if you had a panni plus something else...then you only need one anesthesiologist...they are the ones that bring the cost sky high lol.

Breast reduction is AHC covered...so even if you wanted that...a panni and something else...then it would be cheaper.

Hope that helps

 Hello everyone,
I was wondering what should I do to start the process and file to AHC?What should I ask the family doctor, my is a jerk and I think that he knows nothing, there is any specific document that he has to complete or what? Then after that what should I do? If anyone knows the step by step procedure to apply at AHC please post it. Thank you in advance

All you have to do is have your DR refer you to the weightwise clinic if you are in edmonton.After that there is a process that the weightwise staff will lead you through ...your DR may also start you on the required moduals you need to complete .As far as AHC ...you are covered automatically if you are a permanent resident.There is no hidden cost .

hope this helps
Have a great day

Oh also...

Revisions I had to the panni (publis and hip) were also covered under AHC...becuase they were a revision to the panni... ;)

 That's great to know .. Does the surgeon tell you that or they keep that info out ?

I was under he impression AHC covers panniculectomy, mons lift and breast reduction. Am I misinformed?

Mons lift isn't covered, but it kinda goes hand-in-hand with the panni.  As they are removing the skin, they are also lifting the mons area.  Some plastic surgeons may not do that, though.  Dr. Toy lifted mine and I had lipo to that area as well.
