What is the Approximate Cost for a Total Body Lift in Canada?

By total body lift I mean arms, breast lift with implants, tummy/pubic area, thigh and butt. I will be having gastric bypass some point soon hopefully and I have about 200 lbs to lose. I wanted to get a rough estimate so I can be prepared for the cost in the future. I am also aware that OHIP will cover the tummy portion, but will OHIP cover anything else?
