Can ONLY your family Dr refer you for GB?
Hi Darlene,
Your situation continues to confuse me. I will start by saying that OHIP will indeed fund a revision. I know people who have done this. I feel that your original attempt at this was done incorrectly (wrong/incomplete information sent to the Bariatric Registry) and now you are playing catch-up.
*****ferred you to Dr. Starr? At that time, you should have been referred to the Registry for revision WLS to remove the band and do a RNY. I don't understand why this wasn't done.
Any of your doctors can refer you for WLS, but you've already got a referral into Dr. Starr, so I don't understand what another referral would provide?
