Usually only in Winnipeg. I had thought of hosting one in Portage la Prairie but I doubt most people would come...

Topic: RE: BEST NEWS EVER!

I am wondering if Manitoba Health covered your post op skin removal surgery.  I am in the position where I am looking for that as well now. Do you recall any requirements or requests from Mb health. . Or any suggestions you can pass along for me to  share with my GP?

Topic: RE: Hi I am new, and considering Mexico for my surgery.

I went to mexico as well. Dr Ponce . Had a VSG. Great experience. I was actually in the MB program and tired of waiting as well as seeing lots and lots of complications ( I think there should be less now that the surgeons have more experience now )  

There are only a couple drs I would stay away from. One is known for making odd shaped sleeves and used to use mesh . Not sure if she still does. The other is the cheapest and works out of a strip mall hospital.  

Often it is cheaper going through the dr directly and not a coordinator . Dr Ponce is the same ( 5500 , I believe) Trish from WLS4betterlife lives down there and is great.  Same price and way easier with her involved.
