I spent the past hour trying to find links to services for every province & territory, however I could only find a couple of them. If you know of any, please feel free to share. :happy:

I see that you are listing stuff other than the commercial options. That's wonderful. Maybe we can add the commercial ones too?0

Okay.
My only thing is finding those places is pretty easy, either online or ... well, just about anywhere.

Since I'm in the Winnipeg Program, I could share the clinic contact for the Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery Department but I do not have a website for it. Here it is.
Clinic Office
Ground Floor
Victoria General Hospital
2340 Pembina Hwy.
Winnipeg, MB R3T 2E8
General Office Information
Tel: (204) 477-3540
Fax: (204) 477-3299
I hope this helps someone. Your GP has to send in a referral to refer you to the program.0 -
In BC there are two programs covered by MSP:
This is the one I went through, Westcoast Bariatrics (The name has recently been changed to Richmond Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery):

Thank you both! I spent quite a while trying to figure out where to find any info, and every little bit helps.
