i did the bmi calculator thingy and put in 5'2 at 360lbs ( you said you were probably more the 349, just to get a ball park) and your bmi is 65.8.(ish) i know for sure that edmonton does bmi of at least 70. that may be an option for you if you want to stay in canada. realistically though,had i known how much it would end up costing me to go this route, i may have just done self pay and headed down to mexico. the bonus i guess is that the cost has been spread out over several months, And they give such valuable education and knowledge. is it a very thorough program though, ive learned alot, and have appreciated the program in most aspects. but as far as getting the knowledge, lots of people can help you and thres always books and the internet.
hope this helps, best of luck on your journey
