I'm super glad that my surgery was covered by OHIP as well. My surgeon told me the surgery would cost around $20,000 in the US. Plus I need to have another surgery in a year or two, which will be covered too.

I had SARPE surgery on December 13, 2011. Practically all of the numbness in my face and lips has disappeared, however half (yes, half) of my lip is still somewhat numb, the right side.
