I am from Wpg and had to wait several years for a consult appt then a year after for surgery with Dr. Nohr in Medicine Hat, Alberta. I asked my family dr for a referral and MN Health covered all the costs. I am so happy with the results from my RNY surgery, it has been 8 months and I have lost just over 110 lbs..... no regrests. I know some winnipegers who saw Dr. Star in Toronto. You could go to the Ontario forum and ask about the different surfgeons available. YOu could email me a [email protected] if you have other questions.

Hi Steph
I had surgery on March 13, 2008 and MB Health paid the travel, medical & hospital costs. Check out MB Health website for info on referrals http://www.gov.mb.ca/health/mhsip/oop.html and on Travel Subsidy for Out-of-Province Medical Referrals. Manitoba offers assistance to help cover transportation costs related to getting medical care in another province, http://www.gov.mb.ca/health/mhsip/travel.html. my other email had a typing mistake, just wanted you to have the info...
