Okay thanks for the number.  

There is a 5-7 year waiting list in N.B. and Ont. is not taking people outside the province. Tina mentioned a doc. in Mexico maybe she could tell you about that. But, I would think your best bet now is to stay home and have it done here. Why go somewhere else?

I don't know... sorry. His office number is 709-777-6558.

Hi Terrie,

I emailed Dr. Fleming the other day and he says you don't need to be preapproved for Dr. Pace.  I guess the preapproval must be for if your going out of the province.  This is a direct copy and paste from his email.

The Department of Health and Community Services/MCP has no plans to require prior approval of insured surgical weight loss procedures performed within the publicly funded health care system in this province. In other words, you will not need preapproval for a procedure performed at the Health Sciences Centre by Dr. Pace.

Thanks for the info. I would like to know more if you or anyone else could help.

Do you know of any doctors that do the bypass out of the province? I know about dr.pace and in the process of getting in contact with him but would like to know of other dr i could go to.
