Bariatric Surgery/referral forms

Question
I was instructed to take the referral form to my physician to be completed then submit it to the registry. I can not find the referral form for Ontario, can you help me?

Answer
The form it seems has been taken down now that the registry has been put up. Your doctor will need to go through the bariatric registry site. He must register and perhaps then either fill out the form online or he may have access on the site now.

Expertise

I will help anyone with general questions about roux en y gastric bypass specifically and my own personal experiences. I am specificially looking to help other Ontarians with learning about the process and qualifying for surgery through OHIP. I can answer general questions about the complications, lifestyle and requirements of roux en y surgery. I am not an expert in all forms of bariatric surgery so if you are inquiring about such things as Lapband, Duodenal Switch, I can only answer general questions about them. I had roux en y laproscopic surgery.

Experience

I had my surgery in 2006, am very active in the WLS community and run a local support group. I am a researcher as well and enjoy sharing what I learn with others.

Organizations
