I'm guessing a year.  I'm sure someone else knows the answer and will chime in. 

Time frame:   Aug 31 went to my doctor for referral

october 10th consult. 

Someone told me to get it started pretty soon but it's not nearly as much of a wait as I thought for any part of this.

This may be the average but it took OHIP 6 months to provide a response for mine and then initially I was denied.

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!

I was told it was good for a year.  I had a TT and Breast lift, July 2012, by Dr. Nan.

Merly6800 was your lift covered as well?

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health - people, food, situations, things, and anything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Now I know its "love of oneself". Charlie Chaplin
