Advice information would be appreciated
I am looking for some information and guidence if there is any aviliable to help guide me in the right direction for getting the DS covered by OHIP.
I have read through dsfact.com through the information provided here abotu the specifics of the surgery.
A little bit of background on why I feel this is the right choice for my. I have severe PCOS with insulin resistance at last check my insulin level was nearly double what normal should be. From my research I feel that the metabolic effect of the ds would greatly benefit my insulin resistance.
I do know that OHIP is reluctant to cover any procedure other then RNY. My BMI is lower than what their current guidelines state but not by much. At my last doctors appointment my BMI was 54.6.
