Found this interesting infographic on waiting times for bariatric surgery in various provinces of Canada. Seems it's 6-12 months from referral to initial appointment and a further 2-3 years for surgery in Ontario. Chantal thinks she'll have a gastric bypass in 7-8 months, but according to this chart she probably won't get her first appointment in that time frame.
How long is the typical weight times for bariatric surgery in Canada? How long for British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and other providences in Canada? Does Canadian healthcare cover Gastric Sleeve Surgery, Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Feel free to correct me but wasn't Chantal's eating a whole block of cheese pysch emergency visit her way to shortcut the referral to initial appointment time. Makes me wonder what she might try this time around.
Someone told her in chat tonight shall need abdominoplasty. This seemed to confuse her. She did admit she'd need a breast lift though. I suspect she hasn't factored loose skin into her "I'm going to be thin" mindset.
Edit to make timeline clearer ie that surgical wait time doesn't commence until after surgeon approves the patient for surgery.
