the above link is to the bariatric centre in Halifax. it has a link to the referral form that is needed and all the qualifications that are required to be approved for the surgery.
For example BMI greater than 40 etc....
Hope this helps and if your Doctor is not helpful try and find another. Never stop the good fight.
Topic: Help. please.
My family doctor won't even consider me for the surgery because I am only 100 pounds overweight. She talked over me when I tried to explain that I was considering my comorbidities as a factor.
She want's me to exercise more. That is all that it will take. I now have a handout about being more active.
It wasn't the worst thing that a doctor has said to me about weight loss, but it was dismissive.
She assured me that she would look at any material I brought in, but all I have is on the surgery itself and nothing about eligibilty for the surgery from a medical point of view.
Can someone tell me where would I get that information?
I've seen the name of the contact person for Dr. Ellesmere, but I don't know how to contact her.
