Consult Information

Please have your family physician submit a Consult Form For Weight Loss Surgery on your behalf.

The current wait time for Weight Loss Surgery exceeds 10 years at our current capacity. We are working to increase our capacity to have patients seen sooner.

The Obesity Network is unable to respond to concerns regarding expected wait times for Weight Loss Surgery. Both Capital Heath and the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness have programs that deal with wait time concerns. Please have patients with wait time questions contact these programs.
