Hi Everyone,

I'm glad I found this forum about VSG. I live in Brisbane, Queensland and have just had my first appointment with my surgeon on Friday. I am booked for a sleeve on 30/05/12 with Dr Justin Greenslade. It is very interesting to read the difference between the US system and ours. In Australia if you have a good level of private health insurance all you need is a referral from your general practitioner to see a surgeon, visit the surgeon and have any test etc that he/she recommends and book your surgery. We don't have to do a diet program since most of us have been through the whole weight loss industry by this stage. It's great to be on here and read all your stories, tips etc.
