NaomiAus 104 Posted October 19, 2015 Im just starting this journey too do u mind me asking why it took nearly a year I want it now lol I had to wait a year to be covered by my health fund, in Australia a lot of people don't bother with health insurance because we are very lucky and it's not really necessary. But for things like the sleeve its best to have insurance because they then pay for the bulk of surgery, but you need to wait a year for your health fund to cover pre existing conditions, which obesity is classified as. Even though I had to wait a year to be covered, I am still grateful, I didn't have to go through all the testing, supervised dieting and evaluations like people in the US need to to get covered for the surgery. You will be surprised how quickly the time will go, looking back the year flew by for the most part. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EllaLuna 5 Posted October 19, 2015 We are doing it through our super because i dont have private cover and hubby's one only partially covers him. Our surgery is on 5th December this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NaomiAus 104 Posted October 19, 2015 We are doing it through our super because i dont have private cover and hubby's one only partially covers him. Our surgery is on 5th December this year Using your super is a great option, especially if you don't want to or can't wait to be covered. December 5th is only 2 weeks after me, it'll fly by in no time. It's great that you and your husband are doing this together, it will be such a great support for each other. Good luck to you both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
