I had vertical sleeve in Halifax Feb 23.  I waited a year.  I went to an information session on Feb 16 of 2009.
That is the only surgery they are doing in Halifax right now.  The waiting list is currently based on need not first come first served. 
Check out the Obesity Network on the Capital Health website for more information.

I highly recommend the vsg surgery, I have had no complications as yet.  I am down 50 lbs in 3 months, some pre surgery the rest post-surgery.

Dr. Ellsmere did my surgery.
