New Member---- dose MSP (BC) cover part or any cost of surgery and how do i go about this?

Hello im a new member Im planning on weight loss surgery but am not sure were to start so much conflicting information out there. I am wondering if MSP covers the cost of any weight loss surgery's and if so witch ones and how so I go about applying for surgery coverage any information from ppl who have gone before me or ar farther along in this journey then I am would be greatly appreciated.

thank you in advance :)

MSP does cover 2 types of surgery, the gastric sleeve and the roux en y surgery. You have to be referred by your GP and the wait list for an orientation appointment is approx 2 years. If you meet the requirements for surgery you could be waiting an addition 9-18 months for your surgery. It is quite a long process.

Thank you for the information. much appreciated :)

Ask your doctor to refer you to the bariatric program at Royal Jubilee in Victoria and to Dr. Malick. Good luck! It is a process but it is worth it!
