Topic: RE: Any Canadians that used Medicard to pay for their Weight Loss Surgery??
I just looked up their phone number and have called them in the past myself, you can bombard them with questions at 1-888-689-9876, you can also just send in an application at https://www.medicard.com/disclaimer.php and just put in that you have not choosen a dr yet and just put in the rough amount for estimate and seeing what the rates and other stuff is about and if they will approve you.

Add and talk to Jessi Bates she is dealing with medicare and has had her surgery. Once again I just don't like the interest rates but will go that way if I have no choice before the end of April next year, I do hate to wait that long but might not have a choice.
Topic: finally got good news
I talked to Diane and she said I am booked for surgery on July 25th. I just have to wait for my call for pre-op and than I will be good to go.
I had bloodwork done Monday and all my blood levels are better than he expected. They are all up quite a bit since Dec. So no worries there. My sugars are up but I am not worried about that, With all that I am going through with David and my mom I have a hard time remembering to take my needles and meds. So I have 19 days to my operation and the countdown is finally on.
David is still in the hospital here and is doing really well. He got u for physio today with a walker. But he is really doing so much better. He will be there for another week at least. So hopefully he will be back home by than.
My mom had a biopsy done yesterday on her sinsuses. So yesterday I was between 2 hospitals and never got to eat or take my meds on time or needles something that is happening way to much here lately.lol
ok enough about that. I know this is long but I am happy to have a place where I know I can come and let out my happiness and my sadness. I have been through a lot this year and I am thankful to have friends to vent to.
So thank you friends for being there for me.

Hey there!
I am new on these boards
I am from Nova Scotia Canada
I am looking into the VSG with Dr Alvarez in Mexico - a close friend just had it done. They said there is financing for Canadians through Medicard - I am wondering if anyone has used Medicard to pay for a WLS yet and any issues you may have had - advantages/disadvantages and etc...
Thanks!

Topic: RE: 10 yrs!!
No shocker to me..
They've had my referral, and many others almost every year after with updated medical health deterioration listed -- since..................
March 1999 -- 12 years I would be waiting if I didn't relocate to another province.

Topic: 10 yrs!!
I sent Diana an email to see if she received my referral and the approx. wait time was. She told me the wait time EXCEEDS 10 years and to go look at the note on the Capital Healty Obeisty Website. Very discouraged right now!!!
