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

Hmm not really... i did have a few numbers on the anesthesiologist quote... i don't remember them though... maybe that's what they are.

I wasnt to worried about the extras cause i knew i was covered

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)

I'm spending about 20k depending on hospital fees, but I don't have private health insurance..

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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
