What was your experience with him?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

He was okay...i didn't interact with him much.. he did my initial lapband surgery and then he left the clinic... so i was transferred to my current surgeon who looked after me after my band.. and he also just did my sleeve 6 weeks ago...

You should be okay....and mater is a good hospital so aftercare should be good...

How are you doing though? Nervous as hell i bet lol

Just wondering how much u aussis are paying? I'm analysing my quote and it seems too expensive.... $15 833.00 just for the surgeon and his practice fees.

What!! Thats crazy expensive!!

Is that out of pocket or with health insurance??

I was quoted 21k without insurance and 6k with, that includes everything, surgeon and hospital and anesthesiologist.

Who is the surgeon? What hospital?

Oops and a bad typer. I am a South Aussie scheduled for sleeve 21 July. My out of pocket will be about 3K. So excited, but little nervous. Nice to find some other Aussies about to do the same.

Dr Lockie Brisbane. On the phone they said with private health insurance (which I do have) I'd be 5000 out of pocket.
