Calgary - Haugard

Hi there.. first off I got some pics.. I think my case could be fixed a good deal just from the gym but I do think surgery may end up being the answer..

Has anyone gone to Haugard in calgary?.. I called and the receptionist was nice but she said the wait would probably be at least a year

Does he get AHC to cover lipo?  If not I might make the flight to T.O. and get this done with fielding.. also does anyone know the wait time for Fielding?

thanks!

Hi Outshine:

It usually take 2-3 months to get an appointment with Dr. Fielding. And another 3 months for the surgery. So you are looking about 6-7 months to get the final result.

But keep in mind that usually people prefer to book surgery in fall/winter time as they can hide the tensor belt under their sweater and it's comfortable wearing in cold season than hot summer. So may be little extra wait time.

But it's always better to call ASAp and still you have 2-3 months to do research before your intial consultation. Also, he don't charge any fees for consultation as it is covered by OHIP. And fees are arround $1200-$1500 + tax.

Hope this will help.

O.H.I.P. picks up the rest of the tab....

Two to Three weeks. Some PS's say longer. I guess it all depends on how fast you heal.
