So great you don't have to deal with all the varied inurance hoops the USA has.
Such a goofy healthcare system here, in my opinion.
Hi @FluffySaysForkIt! Thank you!!! it is very exciting for sure, glad I have options too, just hope I can swing the self funded road and get it done this year as I have a fair bit going on next year and would like to be over the worst of it and on my way to healthier happier me. 😁

I'll be in private hospital. Private room.
Very quick process so far just had to do the 12 months waiting period but from first visit to surgery will be 3 months
Had a few places to go in SA chose the most streamlined approach without all the hoops.
seen surgeon twice. Weighed in twice. See a dietitian next week and that's about it until my surgery date.
Hi Mikeyy,
Nice to see a few Aussies around.
The PHI premium is based on a quote I got a while ago... but might be family rate or be cheaper options dunno, not too concerned as it is the least likely of my 3 options.
I have decided if I can swing it to go self funded. Found out if anything deteriorates and I need emergency treatment I will be transferred to a public hospital as a public patient so that's reassuring.
When is your surgery?

Yep same in UK, very different and MUCH easier than USA, they have to really jump through some hoops huh!?
Let us know which option you decide on, once I made my mind up to get it done I wanted it done ASAP. I self funded and was in surgery 3 months after my initial consultation with the surgeon
Yes, it is fortunately a lot easier were we are both located.
I am thinking going the self pay road - want it done soon. It is just a matter of logistics now... so waiting to hear about the money and where I can recover as The surgery is a diff city to where I live and I can't fly for 2 weeks after apparently.
Exciting!!!

So I had my first consultation this week, the system is very different in Australia to what I have read about the surgery elsewhere.
Things went very well, loved the team I spoke to, the Dr I saw was not the surgeon, but a very good bariatric physician, and after our consultation it would appear that I have the choice of;
Signing up for top Health insurance, paying premiums for a year and then getting the surgery. Approx $5-7k AUD out of pocket and $5-8k in premiums for the 12 months
Going through a semi subsidised model which would be in about 6 months Approx $10k AUD
Paying for the surgery myself which would be in a matter of weeks. Appox $22k AUD
Good news is I can do any of the above, am healthy and a good candidate, there is little requirements to do a lot of the pre-surgery requirements that other country/systems have, so I guess I now just have to decide.

So many many cute outfits and omg....we finally have a guy posting here! Yay.
So today was hectic, but my best moment was when work was over (finally) and I could escape to my favorite oasis- Club Pilates.
These are pants my daughter gave me. She said she wasn’t “into” patterns anymore and that they were more my style.
Lol, whatever that means.
My favorite part about them is they are freaking size MEDIUM in fabletics.
OMG.. toe sox!
... plus you look great!

Top is Ok if you want/need loose casual on the weekend or similar, the dress is oddly shaped, doesn't suit your smoking bod imho.

It's been a rough journey for you so far Bastian, it's not unexpected that after all the complications you've had and the revision surgery you will be feeling crap. Two surgeries which have radically altered your physiology have knocked you around a lot, it is just your body's way of saying that you need to rest and recoup.
I can relate to you wanting to get on with it, but your body just isn't ready for that yet, give the poor thing a chance to catch up lol!
From what I have read and researched it is going to be trial and error for quite some time with what you can not tolerate/makes you feel good/makes you feel crap etc you have to re-learn all over again what your new GI tract can take.
Be kind to yourself and take it very easy until you do feel better.
Hugs and best wishes hun.

*sigh* My next step might just have to be butt-padded underwear...
I think it's the way they are shaped at the top more than the upper thigh/butt area that gives the impression.
Your butt looks great from this gal's angle lol! It is not flat at all, just not Kardashian haha
First consultation this week
in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Posted
Quite amazing what you guys have to go through, none of that for me if I go down the self paying road, I just need one more appointment with my surgeon and dietician before the surgery, that's it... if I was getting the surgery with insurance might be more requirements I don't know but probably not as much as you guys in the USA have to do that's for sure, but I don't want to wait the minimum 12 months with insurance, so will pay for it myself.
Just a very hard logistical exercise to work out when to do it... due to being away from home for work, and away from where the surgery will be also, and between moving soon to another location lol... very tricky logistically.
