  19. CMAJ – CommentaryTreating severe obesity: morbid weights and morbid waits “However, governments and administrators of health care systems need to critically examine gaps in care delivery and increase funding accordingly. A marked increase in the private delivery of bariatric surgery in Canada, as it currently exists, is unlikely to be a viable care model. Private centres often select patients without co-morbidities for surgery, specialize in a single procedure or device, are ill-equipped to deal with complications and revisions, and are poorly positioned to provide life-long follow-up (e.g., for repeat gastric band adjustments). Therefore, funding is best allocated toward creating new programs and enhancing the capacity of existing programs for bariatric surgery that provide comprehensive, continuing care.” Padwal RS, Sharma AM, CMAJ (2009):181, 777-78
