Does RAMQ cover...
I an pre-op but I know that the Nutritionist can follow you longterm when you have surgery at the RVH and I believe the same goes for Sacre Coeur. As for the vitamins, I am presently on Vit D and it is covered by my employee insurance & I believe same goes if you use RAMQ, however I am not sure if either covers all forms and doses of vitamins.

In my case for VSG at RVH. The multivitamins are not covered, but you should still get a prescription for them and keep receipts for tax refunds. For anything else you need as per your blood tests, like vitamin D or b12, ... those should be covered. The NUT is something you shoudl ask your clinic. I see the nutritionist and nurse every 3 months the first year (covered with my surgery i guess), a few extra times early on after surgery. They help progress through the food stages, give meal ideas, check on blood work, fitness recommendations, etc. I highly recommend getting one to balance out the craziness you find online and on these boards.
Multivitamin, and B12 are not covered, but cost about 15$ a month. Iron and Calcium and Vit D are covered.
