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...

I want to know how in the world you were able to go to BC for the surgery. I was told that I can only go to Edmonton. Do you live in winnipeg?

Hi Cherri
I was wondering if you could help me out with Dr. Rusnack's contact info.

I live in Winnipeg and am looking to go the same route as yourself

Please leave me a message whenever you have the chance.

Thanks again and I hope all is well

I want to be referred to your doctor. Do you have the fax number where I could get my doctor to send in a referral? Thanks so much!
