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 really nervous have my pre-op appointments next week ahh.

    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?

    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
