Hi, my name is Sarah and I am a beginner. I have done all the research and hopefully spoke to all the right people and now I am in the process of looking for a surgeon. As I live in Australia and do not have provate health insuance the operation is not covered by Medicare and I will trying to withdrawl from by superannuation funds early to pay for my surgery. I would be especially interested to hear from anyone who lives in Australia and can recommend someone or who has paid for the operation from thie super.

Look forward to getting to know you all
