This is a real weird one. I am trying to find a real estimate of the waiting list for WLS in Ontario Canada. And also if a guy has a criminal record for a breach of probation 17 years ago and wants to go to the US for surgery can that happen.If anyone has any input I would really appreciate it.....

You are typically looking at a 1 1/2 year wait to 2 years -- that with the newest doctor (which may or may not appeal to you).  If you want a more experienced surgeon, you are talking 2-5 years. It is much faster if you go through out of country and you'll get a bariatric surgeon that way (rather than a general surgeon).  Come over to the Ontario board. Dawn

I would suggest a pardon, to be on the safe side!

I agree a pardon would be much faster I was told 3 to 12 years in Ontario for surgery
