Hi Autumn. NS does not offer the lap band procedure. New Brunswick has surgerons who do the surgery. The rest is in Onatrio and Quebec.
Nova Scotia and I mean MSI  will only cover the hopital time and DR's appointment, and you have to pay for the band. This is for New Brunswick. I am not sure if they do the band in Quebec in hospital or clinics. I know most of the bands are done in clinic's. Hospital are only use if there are big health  issues.
Aslo NB has a 2 year + waiting list. In Ont you pay out of your pocket so you have the freedom to choose when you want it done.
Hope this helps. I love my band. It was the best thing I ever gave myself
