Chef Dave September 1, 2009 What part of Canada? The dietician that checks all my recipes lives in Vancouver and may be able to lead you in the right direction. Miriam September 21, 2009 My daughter lost over 100 lbs several years ago and has had a tummy tuck. She still needs to have a breast lift and thigh lift. (the thigh lift is most important as she has vericos veins and trouble with her knees – the excess skin puts a lot of pressure on her legs) We live on the west coast of canada and she cannot afford the cost of these surgeries. Is there any kind of financial assistance for this kind of surgery. evan October 3, 2009 I am 17 years old and I lost about 50 pounds back when I was 15. I am now stuck with excess skin around my abs hips and chest. I was just curious what it takes to get surgery covered by insurance. I have panic attacks and deppression and I feel as if alot of my depression is due towards this skin. please let me no if I can have insurance cover a tummy tuck. Brandy May 5, 2010 i`ve recently lost 178lbs (and counting) and was curious if there were organizations that helped people who have financial issues to get the skin removal surgery?
