26 Days Until Surgery. This Surgery Is Covered By MB Health!

Manitoba Health has been covering these surgeries for about 3 years now.  Many people still don't know that this is available in Manitoba.

Here are the reasons I was accepted for the Bariatric Sleeve by Manitoba Health.

1.  A BMI of over 35 (you can get your BMI by using a BMI Calculator).
2.  Family history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and breast cancer.
3.  Consistently seeking my Doctors advice for weight loss (a total of 10 years in their records).

For me, the process from my doctors referral to surgery took 21 months in total.

My surgery will be covered by Manitoba Health 100%.

If you want to learn more about Bariatric Surgery in Manitoba, speak to your local doctor about the procedure and ask for a referral to the Bariatric Clinic at Victoria Hospital in Winnipeg.
