Does anyone know what MSP covers and what it doesn't. What is the weight time, I was told three years
Thanks. I have had that conversation with my GP but she hasn't been of any help with respect to a nutritionist. I"ll try tackling her again.
Does anyone have the name/email address of a nutritionist in the LM? I am going to Mexico at the end of October for surgery and would like to speak to a nutritionist before I go (as well as for support when I get home). I have had an incredibly difficult time tracking a nutritionist down. Any info would be appreciated!

They may have stopped doing them. There is/was a section for Out of Country (OOC) surgeries that approved various surgeries done elsewhere, not just bariatric. Perhaps it isn't there anymore... The lady I dealt with there, in 2009/10 was Kelly Braithwaite. Can't remember a phone number for her. I have a referral from Dr. Tang, then I did up a letter telling Kelly why it was important to me (this was not asked for, I just wanted to ensure she knew where I was coming from), and then the application was reviewed and approved........
i was reading the posts and is the surgery only done at the coast? i had mine done in edmonton and had to take about 12 different short courses on changing my lifestyle. are these done in bc. what is the process?
I agree the wait list is way to long. While I wait I keep doing research and try and find ways around it, no luck so far. But I did come across a blog that I find helpful in getting ready. It is by two sisters who entered the program in February and they write about all their different appointments and what to expect. http://evieallyswhatstheskinny.blogspot.ca/
I just had my meeting with Robin last week, and she cleared me for surgery. So far I am cleared by nooshin and Robin. I have my meeting with Dr. S on sept 6th and I still am waiting to hear from Jon. I am so excited. As far as I am aware, I only have a gastroscopy left..... but who knows what Dr. S has to say :)
