After speaking with an old friend of mine, I found out that she received the Roux-en-Y surgery in Montreal, Quebec. The surgeon is Dr. Christou. She had to pay for her surgery when she had it done.

NEWS:
2009-02-28: OHIP and Weight Loss Surgery enter into formal agreement to provide laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery to Ontario patients.

YIPPEE!!ALRIGHT, RIGHT ON!!!! Until your bubble gets wickedly burst when you try to contact their office.....goodluck! After calling the toll free number available on their website, I basically got nowhere. Their mailbox is full, when the automated voice transfers you for further assistance there is a message stating there is no one at this extension to assist you. Crazy!
I can ASSURE you that whenever calling Dr. Fitzer's or Dr. Graber's office, you can leave a message and that's only in the very small chance that there is no one available to answer your call. From my experience, everytime that I have called the Dr. Fitzer's office, I've always received a live person to assist me. Of course it would be nice to have the operation in my own country, however, what a mess when trying to even get through to Dr. Christou's office. I'm sticking with Dr. Fitzer, PERIOD!!

Will the status change at Dr. Christou's office? Perhaps...but I sure don't have the time to keep trying to find out.
