Hi Angie
As far as I know it is covered here in Alberta!... My family Doctor sent me because of the skin hanging. She says potential for skin break down and back problems! (O:...I will let you know more this afternoon after I see the plastic surgeon.

I know that the bypass is not done in NS, but it used to be ... surley to heaven there must be someone that can follow up. If I was you, I would contact Diana Lawlor through the QE11's site and see if she can shed any light or offer any suggestions.

Her email is: [email protected]

Hopefully that is at least a starting point. The other option might be to try to have his surgeon refer him to someone in NS. Just a thought.

Best of luck!

Donna that's awesome!!  I'm curious, do you have to pay for the pannectomy or is it covered by MSI (or whatever you have there)?  If it's paid by someone else, what were the requirements for coverage, and if you pay, how much is it - if you don't mind me asking - I will need one sometime in the future!  :))  Congrats on your great success!!
