How do you do it?

OK in order to get a consultation for bariatric surgery you only need your Family doctor to send a referral, no specialist is required to do this unless you chose too.
 
Now where to go all depends on what you can afford to do and on your health what is the distance you believe that you can safely travel by air or car.

You should be aware that Edmonton weight wise program consists of alot of travelling back and forth which can get expensive fast.

As for a referral to Edmonton ask you family doc to submit a referral right away, download & print the forms http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/rf-z4-wwadult.pdf
