How much have you lost?

All you need to know can be found in the Skin FAQ on the Maintainers forum.

if u r in canada there is a chance it could be covered it is called mothres apron. An old neighbour of mine had it done. If u r depressed cause of the skin and it is causing issues in you relationship or with your self esteem. that is how she had it covered by medicare. it was bout a year ago things change.

Some provinces allow for coverage, others such as Manitoba do not. Seems to coincide with which provinces have bariatric specialists who perform WLS.
