Australia and New Zealand only please!
That seems like a great deal! What insurance do you have? I got Hcf in January so will get sleeved next year. But haven't choose the surgeon yet. Would you mind telling me yours? Thank youI have NIB. The anesthesiologist would have actually been cheaper with other private health covers. My surgeon is Dr D'nofrio
