HI everyone, not sure i am in the right thread BUT i am a new poster i live in the Gold Coast and am wanting to have a sleeve. I have paid for a year of Health Insurance back in March this year and have been told i need to wait 12 months before i can claim on it. I am at the very beginning of finding out what exactly to do next! Can anyone please help me out? which surgeons are the best, in the Goldie or Brisbane? Do i need a Drs referral before i make an appointment with the surgeon? Any tips would be great.Thanks in Advance :0
