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

Yeah the 5k sounds about right... with private health insurance

Mine was almost 6k but i am getting some back from medicare for the anesthesiologist around 800 i think (i haven't claimed it back yet.. lazy one i am)

Could the 14k be the quote for out of pocket?

Yeah... are you getting the sleeve?

If so, call bupa and ask them if you are covered for item number 31575

I had mine done 6 weeks ago now... time really does fly!!

I am doing great, back to normal... drinking 2 litres easily, getting 80g of Protein daily..

It is so much easier now than the first two weeks... each week gets easier and easier.

I don't regret it so far... i have had moments when im like... i would like to eat this or that... but thats in my head.

A sloth Aussie is me before the sleeve. Lol been hanging upside from a tree branch for way too long trying not to be noticed, but can't wait to go and enjoy life when I am feeling happier with my looks and no longer concerned that people are thinking - what does that fat person think they are doing. I know it only my thoughts and not a reality but still so debilitating. ( predictive text - u really have to watch)

Wow 2 litres! That's great. Is that just little sips all day? Do u feel hungry?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah i am pretty impressed i can fit that much in... i have 2 one litre bottles that i drink throughout the day... not sips, more like small gulps... mind you first 2 weeks i could barely get a cup in... so yes big difference.

Hunger... hmm its a different hunger for me now.. its like.. i should eat now... i feel a little empty.. so i listen to my body .. i wouldn't call it actual hunger though

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
