Plastics consult
She also told me that OHIP is cash-strapped and that she herself hasn't been paid by OHIP in three months. So fingers crossed for me and everyone down the road!
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!

.I was denied in February 2012 after they had my applicaiton since Sept 2011, it took them 5 months to come back after several further requests for teh photos, descriptions etc
..and the only thing that OHIP stated was borderline
..that was it NOTHING else.
Currently I am in the appeal process with the Health Services Appeal and Review Board and have a date of Oct 1 to bring forth my case.
As I stated on this board previously a large overhang doesn't automatically get approved, there are several items specifically laid out in Appendix D (16).
I would suggest that ANYONE applying for this procedure and hoping that OHIP will cover the costs, read and fully understand the guidelines set out. It truly isn't based on just one item and from what i have seen it's not (cut and dried).
I truly hope your outcome is better than mine was...because it's a pain in the rump to have to then fill out the paperwork, do homework, and provide documentation and reasoning why OHIP should in fact cover the costs of your surgery.
Let us know how it goes~!
