Ohip pays for the sleeve only if deemed medically necessary by your surgeon.

Jo, I've definitely heard of VSG being approved for those with a lifelong need for NSAIDs. I don't think you have anything to worry about :)
Yes, exactly. I wanted the sleeve due primarily to need for knee pain medication but since I've had bad heartburn issues and an endoscopy showed I have GERD I cannot have sleeve surgery and need a RYN instead despite my knee issues.
