    Hi! I have a referal to Dr Martin, no insurance, public system. Has anyone been banded under this system in PA Hospital Brisbane? I have soooooo many questions, although they are lovely when I phone no one can give me even a ball park figure for waiting time.I have a letter saying I am on a waiting list, but have not been categorized yet, My referal was faxed to them 01/10/08, the letter recieved from PA is dated 13/10/08. I have'nt had my 1st consultation yet either? and no appointment date yet. After the 1st consultation how long do you wait to be banded?:thumbup: The other questions tha maybe someone can answer: Is there any doctors that will do the op on a payment plan, I really don't mind paying, just have'nt got that amount of money up front. I don't even care if I have to go interstate or O/S. I have a very strong family history of diabetes melitis (father, all his siblings and my Grandmother died in a diabetic coma) Obesity, my mother is over 200kg and in a nursing home, unable to look after herself. My BMI is 41.35. If anyone has any advice/help/suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks everyone, Debra

    Hi from Australia

    Thanks for the great welcome....it's great to know there are others in the same position, the forum seems like a great tool. Catch up soon Debra
  7. Hi all, I am currently on a waiting list for banding here in Aus.this can take up to 2yrs. That is unless I win the lottery and come up with $15,000 AUD. I have joined this forum to gather as much information from REAL PEOPLE as I can so when I have my surgery I can go in well informed. I am keen to know how fast the weight drops off, and all the other experiences that you have all been through, so I will scour this forum so thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey.
